Google launches What Do You Love?

Amalgamated search results from Google's search engines

INTERNET GIANT Google has launched a universal amalgamated search engine called What Do You Love?

The web site www.wdyl.com allows users to search for things they're interested in, such as hobbies, foods or films, and provides several streams of content on the topic from Google's various search engines.

The results display as a long page of boxes, showing photos, videos, 3D art, patents, books, maps, blogs, groups, and news about whatever has been searched for.

It even allows users to easily sign up for alerts on the topic, to send emails about it, to plan events related to it on their calendar, to debate the topic, make calls about it, see how popular it is on a graph, and to translate the search term into 57 different languages.

It also links in Google Chrome and Google mobile, neither of which provide any results, but simply offer instant access to more of Google's products. The entire aim of the web site is to let people know about other things that Google offers that they might not otherwise discover.

While this feature simply pulls results from Google's other search engines, it makes it very easy to find specific types of content and see the latests results in different mediums at the click of a mouse.

Users can click through to full results in any of Google's individual search engines, such as patent search or blog search, or in the cases of image search and Youtube they can click a button to expand the list of top results for that search term.

Google recommended trying out a search for "cheese" for a little humour, where the results will help you "scour the earth for cheese", "find cheese nearby", "find patents about cheese" or even plan a "date with cheese".

Google said that more will be added to What Do You Love? over time. We imagine that results from Realtime and Google+ will be some of the features it will add. µ

A little discovery

Putting in "sex" was of course the first thing I tried. Try it yourself, the results are quite amusing.
