Google Squared, digging deeper to improve search results

Google Inc. announced today their newest search options called Google Squared at the Searchology event. Unlike Google's traditional search results, Google Squared will not simply show a set of links related to the search request. Instead, it will query through Google's massive database to organize pertinent facts and other content in rows and columns. The search giant said that the new feature aims to effectively guess out what the user intent is and get the results quickly.

Sounds familiar? that’s because Wolfram Alpha has been pitching for the same understanding technology of their own search engine. So it could be argued that Google is preempting what Wolfram Alpha want to accomplish.

Here are some screenshot I pulled out from blogoscoped.com
