You probably wouldn’t understand what the title of this post meant, if you didn’t see the screenshot below right!? (picture says a thousands words!)

oscommerce

As you can see Google has been playing around with its search results. Now you can search “some” sites directly in the Google results. I liked it! Because when you go to the site, you will end up searching the site anyway :) So, why not directly search it from the Google results, right? So the Google team think, and I agree. I think it saves us at least one step.

P.S It only appears for some keywords and sites, searching for adesblog didn’t return such a result for my blog :( How about you, any of your sites has a search field on Google results?

    Any idea what the criteria is that Google is looking for to get featured in this way?

    Yup, It will be cool to have such feature with my site listed no.1 on google.

    Nice one Google! Definitely a must-have, especially for bigger websites. Searching within the returned results like this, without leaving the Google page makes good sense. Generally this should enhance the usability of the average browsing session, especially if you’re trawling for specific information.

    Nice feature but the feature makes oscommerce to loose money.

    We appreciate your ten cents’ worth, tech blog, but please do keep them coming Ades. This is new to me. What is the process to get this feature?

    I actually find this ignoring … as the search results are harder to read then for example from sourceforge

    It took me a while to make sense what it was the other day when I discovered it on one of the search result.

    Thanks, Ades.
