Google Patents New Local And Organic Search Results Have you ever wondered how Google might be coming up with the geo-local elements of a SERP?

Now that it's making news, I thought we'd dig into it some.

Google Social Search; the Potential for Personalization Whats the future of search (and by extension SEO)? Well, some 40% of the people we asked in our recent poll said personalization would have the greatest effect. But how? One such avenue would be taking it a step further than its current state to add more layers to the search onion. In short, by getting more social; the rise of the social search engine.

As expected, he states that they aren't so much targeting brands as only certain elements were tweaked...
SEOs Learning From Google Suggest Search engines are always looking to make our lives easier, or at least accessing the worlds information in a timely manner. But in the old days they had to wait for the user to take action before they could begin to deliver potential results for a query " not these days " starting to gather search results and even implementing search assist can happen with each keystroke.
