Where Is Show Options in Google?
Google today updated “search options” which was introduced in May. This feature will help narrowing down your search results. So what has Google updated this time? Exactly 9 new options and here they go…
1). Past hour – This option is impressive and brings Google closer to real time search. “Past hour” option shows web pages that were published less than 1 hour ago (and are indexed by Google).
2). Specific date range – Shows web pages only publishes in specified date range.
3). More shopping sites – Displays additional commercial pages + prices in search results.
4). Less shopping sites – Does not display commercial pages.
5). Visited pages – Again, very impressive. If you are looking for something you forgot to bookmark.. no worries! Google will return you only pages you have visited earlier.
6). Not yet visited – Filters out pages that you have already visited.
Option 5& 6 needs you to be signed into Google and your web-history should be enabled.
7). Books, 8). Blogs, 9). News – Only shows results from these sources.
Keep in mind you might not able to see all these options right now, normally it takes 2-3 days for these updates to be fully functional.
