Google Labs
-
Google Labs is a collection of ideas and research projects that Google are playing with, but are not ready to introduce into the mainstream portion of their site. It is, as the name suggest, an experimental lab. The best one is easily Google Sets. I typed in c#, visual basic and java and got back a list of every language I could think of. This is an incredible piece of information aggregation and could be very powerful. I really hope Google make this Google Set feature accesible via the Google Web Services. What a great way to start the day! <-- Geek! * Anyone tried the Voice Search? I do not feel like racking up international phone charges just to get a Google result, but I am interested in how they present the search results nonetheless. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and to be loved in return - Moulin Rouge Tim Smith wrote: Over here in the third world of humor (a.k.a.

For a laugh, I typed in Kirk, Spock and Scotty and it returned me the rest of the Enterprise bridge crew. Not bad at all. Michael :-)

The more I think about the greater the possibilities of it are. Your example is brilliant, Google should put it at the bottom of the page. It highlights the usefulness of it. I typed in South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe. It then returned a list of countries, but starting with Southern African countries and then moving outward. Utterly fantastic. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and to be loved in return - Moulin Rouge Tim Smith wrote: Over here in the third world of humor (a.k.a.

I typed Janeway, Tuvok, Paris and Kim using the Large Set. At first I thought it had returned all the popular Voyager crew, but then I realised that it had missed two-of-two - unforgiveable! Gavin

On a related topic, Google has very recently (as of a few hours ago) started automatically redirecting you to the correct spelled version of your search parameter. You know previously it would ask you "did you mean x instead?"? Well, it now refreshes the page with its guess for you. Try it. Simon I need your clothes, your boots, and your copy of VS.NET.

Sometimes instead of correcting my mis-spelt word I try a different word all together. But then I am consistantly difficult aren't I? :rolleyes: regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and to be loved in return - Moulin Rouge Tim Smith wrote: Over here in the third world of humor (a.k.a.
