Dec 11, 2009 at 1:57pm ET by Barry Schwartz
Google announced they added universal search results directly in Google Suggest and a "quick scroll" feature as a Chrome extension.
Here is a picture of weather results, a form on Universal Search, directly in the Google Search box:
I personally do not see it yet, but I am sure it will show up soon.
The Quick Scroll Chrome extension will help you locate the keywords on the page you clicked on from the Google search results page. Here is a picture of how that looks:

Google Mobile Search Adds Universal Flavor To Arabic & Hebrew Searchers
Aug 27, 2009 at 9:45am ET by Barry Schwartz
The Google Mobile blog announced that Arabic and Hebrew mobile searchers are now able to see universal results directly on their mobile devices. Although not related, this comes soon after Google Translated recently added 9 new languages.
I know a bit of Hebrew, so I tried to test out the search results on Google Israel on my iPhone. Unfortunately, I did not see the same mobile friendly results, with universal search, on my iPhone. Maybe it was related to me searching on my iPhone or searching in the states, I don't know.
What it should look like is:
What I see on my iPhone:

Report: A “Caffeine” Infusion Would Mean Ranking Changes On Google
Aug 26, 2009 at 10:22am ET by Greg Sterling
Search and online marking firm 360i published findings from a small but structured test of how the "Caffeine" search infrastructure changes could affect results and ranking on Google. As Vanessa Fox wrote when Caffeine went public earlier this month, there apparently would be a number of changes in the ordering and content of results.

This is precisely what 360i has now tried to do. The company evalua [...]

The Next Decade: Can Google Stay On Top?
May 7, 2009 at 8:59pm ET by Greg Sterling
There's a feeling in the air of change -- from one era to another and, more precisely, from one type of media culture to another. The hearings on Capitol Hill yesterday on the "future of journalism" reflect this transition in which traditional media are under intense pressure and fighting for their lives in some cases. These changes are not simply being brought on by the recession but by the pace of technology development and the corresponding tectonic shifts in the consumption of media.
Just as Microsoft was and is synonymous with the PC, Google has come to be synonymous with the internet [...]

Google Confirms & Talks About Expanded Local Results
Apr 6, 2009 at 4:27pm ET by Matt McGee
In a blog post today, Google confirms what we and others reported last week -- they're now showing local results on non-local queries.
Google says they're guessing the searcher's location, "in most cases" by using your IP address. As I pointed out last week, this isn't always the most accurate solution. And, as Greg Sterling pointed out, Google will eventually replace IP-targeting with improved triangulation/GPS right in the web browser/device you're using.
Meanwhile, Google Software Engineer Jim Muller replied to the questions we emailed last week when I wrote the original article on th [...]
