Spreadsheet Web Search with Google Squared

Google Squared, the so called answer of Google to Wolfram Alpha is now live. Google Squared is an experimental search engine that gives you organized search results broken down by categories which they call "square" of information. User can modify the starter square by removing rows and columns they don't like. You can add new rows and columns and having Google Squared attempt to fetch the relevant facts. If you're happy with your square you can save it and come back to it later. Google Squared does the grunt work for you, making research fast and easy.


For example, I tried to search for the keyword "cleveland cavaliers" and It returns me a spreadsheet result of cavaliers team roster including inactive players.



I modified the keyword to "cleveland cavaliers 2009" hoping to fetch only active roster but instead it provided me unrelated results.



Although it seems the technology still needs lots of refinements to turn it into a useful tool, I still give it "4 stars out of 5" for the the idea.
