Google is finally rolling out its long-awaited real-time search option.
The search engine will now include some results in real-time on its main results page.
“Our users will get the results as they are produced,” said Google fellow Amit Singhal at an event in Mountain View in California.
How it works? Well, a search for “Obama” would include a constantly updated listing of the “latest results” on Obama pulled from live tweets, Yahoo Answers, news articles, and web pages. Click “pause” and the listing stops refreshing.
This is well and truly real time too. Google’s Matt Cutts tweeted something from the audience, and it appeared in the results immediately.
Google will offer realtime trends, similar to Twitter’s, and you’ll see the real time option labeled “latest” alongside the current past “day” and “hour”. This new realtime search will also work on both Android devices and iPhones immediately. There is also a way to filter results just to status updates from Twitter, Facebook etc.
Google’s just announced partnerships with both Facebook and MySpace, both of which will see Google pull in any available public data in real-time.
One can’t help but consider what lies in store for “real time search” start-ups like Topsy and OneRiot.
Real-time results will be rolled out to users over the next few days.
Holly Smokes! Things are changing rapidly, we better get on board and now if we plan to live past the old days of affiliate marketing.

This is a bold, timely move that is going to lead to a massive shake up in the entire search
industry. It is clear that most folks appreciate the importance of this development. Besides TipTop Search which offers a unique experience that Google would not be
able to replicate easily (unless they acquire them), I do not quite see how any other real-time search engine is going to survive after this.
This is cool! This will benefit from all the people who want to search the information they wanted :) Thanks for sharing this

You can limit the information available to the apps (of course, this is not going to beat the global settings for your profile – where you have everyone, will get to everyone).

Things you will learn if you listen:
1. Martin has a secret shoe addiction.
2. Alex W. isn’t trying to be a dick when he snores. No, REALLY!
3. Kristin is downplaying Seattle’s ATT 3G connection because she doesn’t want people moving here and clogging it up.
4. How to use the 2009 Word of the Year in conjunction with Windows Live Messenger 2010.
5. I don’t know enough about what is going on in technology internationally.
mKay, seriously, was fun and informative again this week. Great info on Dubai’s laws in relation to tech access, Fawzi, and thank you Ralf and Alex G. for the same info on Poland and Germany.
Personally, I would love to read or hear more about the international tech and issues surrounding it. (It seems to be coming out well in the podcast format.) Is the non-U.S. team considering writing from that angle at all?
