Google Experimental Search

Google is always experimenting with new features aimed at improving the search experience. Take them for a spin, and let us know what you think.

Timeline and map views


See results on a timeline or map. With the timeline and map views, Google’s technology extracts key dates and locations from select search results so you can view the information in a different dimension.

Timeline and map views work best for searches related to people, companies, events and places.

Get started with one of these queries:
Merdeka

Keyboard shortcuts


Navigate search results quickly and easily, minimizing use of your mouse. Current keyboard shortcuts include:

J: Selects the next result.

K: Selects the previous result.

O: Opens the selected result.

Enter: Opens the selected result.

/: Puts the cursor in the search box.

Esc: Removes the cursor from the search box.
Get started with this query: Merdeka

Left-hand search navigation



Search deeper in a particular type of content—patents, products or news, for example. Google searches across all kinds of content, then ranks results by relevance.

If you want to see additional results of a particular content type, just click a link in the left-hand search navigation.

You can also refine your results by clicking on related search terms.

Get started with one of these queries:
ipod, proton,

Right-hand contextual search navigation



Similar to the left-hand search navigation, right-hand contextual search navigation allows you to search deeper in a particular type of content or to search related terms—but from the right side of the page.

Get started with one of these queries: Kuala Lumpur, rails
