POWER TIP

Advanced Search reloaded

We recently updated our advanced search page to make it easier than ever to refine and expand your query with our dynamic query builder. You can use all the same features as before, but we'll now show you a real-time view of what it looks like if you create a complex query using specific search parameters.

NEW PRODUCTS & UPDATES

Google Docs upgrades several features

We've upgraded a number of features in Google Docs including new toolbars and menus for documents; notification of spreadsheet changes via email; and spreadsheet gadgets such as pivot tables and org charts. And you can now change ownership of documents and spreadsheets and use colored folders, which work just like labels in Gmail.

Google Sky now available online

If you use Sky in Google Earth, it's now easier than ever to look at your favorite planets, galaxies, constellations or star clusters. With the launch of the browser version of Google Sky, you can search for your favorite stellar objects, listen to Earth and Sky podcasts, switch wavelength lenses and explore historical maps. You can also browse through the universe with the menus at the bottom of the page.

Google Gears for mobile and Google search plug-in for WinMo

The new Google Gears for mobile lets you access web applications on your mobile phones, even when there's no network connection. (And developers will also find it easier to create mobile applications.) Also, our new search plug-in for WinMo phones installs a search box right on your Today screen and helps you conduct web searches more quickly.

MISCELLANY

"The web is better when it's social." This idea has taken root all across the web of late -- the more you can share, update, comment, and contribute in all sorts of creative ways to the steady stream of news, views, and entertainment, the more dynamic and compelling the Internet becomes. For developers, the web is more interesting when they can build applications that easily interact with everyone. But the challenge for those creating software widgets, gadgets and "containers" for content has been to pick the right tools and, until recently, bet on the right platform for building their creations. This is one reason we've banded together with Yahoo! and MySpace: to encourage open software development for as many of the communities and sites as possible. Collectively, we plan to create a private non- profit foundation that can support open development of common toolsets. We think this openness helps everyone.
