Google just got better

Recently, Google announced its critical first steps toward a universal search model that will offer users a more integrated and comprehensive way to search for and view information online. The company also introduced an updated homepage design with several new navigation features that make it faster and easier to users to find the information they are looking for. Google's vision for universal search is to ultimately search across all its content sources, compare and rank all the information in real time, and deliver a single, integrated set of search results that offers users precisely what they are looking for.

Google is also in the process of deploying a new technical infrastructure that will enable the search engine to handle the computationally intensive tasks required to produce universal search results. The new navigation includes dynamically generated links. For example, a search for "python" will now generate links to Google Blog Search, Google Book Search, Google Groups, and Google Code, to let user know there is additional information on his or her query in each of those areas. Search seems to be getting more and more advanced and this is only going to make it much easier for us!
