Google's Wonder Wheel Helps Vague Searchers 
By: Courtney Mills 2009-05-18 At the annual Searchology gathering, Googles Vice President of Search Products, Marissa Mayer announced a number of new tools that will add... ...to the overall search experience. The collections of tools are called Search Options, which, as Google puts it, will let you slice and dice your results and generate different views to find what you need faster and easier. Marissa explains that Search Options gives you the ability to view your results in new ways. One view gives you more information about each result, including images as well as text; while others let you explore and iterate your search in different ways. One of the coolest tools in Search Options is the Wonder Wheel. It gives the users related search queries or terms on a visual wheel so that they can click around and discover new topics. Your search query will appear inside a light blue circle, with related terms around it. Here is what appeared in the Wonder Wheel when I searched for iphone: Basically, if youre not really sure what youre looking for then the Wonder Wheel will help. If you would like to learn more about the new Search Options, then check out Googles video here. Have you tried Googles Search Options already? If so, what did you think? We would love to hear your thoughts.
