hi naval,

i think this is more about the concept of expanding search capabilities and not just allowing people to find cars. if people want to look for cars, there are many great sites, but google’s mission is to organize the world’s data.

cheers

This capability is not unique to Google. Vast.com has an open api of of over 15 Million listings that other search engines can add into their results pages tomorrow! They can use it for commercial purposes, and be first to market on this. Heck, you can do it on your blog and beat Google Base out there

Hi,
I am searched This doesn’t work for me. Maybe Google checks the IP range and serves search refining for USA only.
Thanks

For anyone like me who has to lookup the acronym “serps” to find out what it means. Here the definition SERPs are “Search Engine Result Pages”. The thing you see when you search for something in Google.

I agree that interactive searching is a move in the right direction. The issue with interactive searching is gettin the UI just right. With this current test I think Google is placing too much on top of the organic search results.

Several Canadians have reported not seeing this. Goolge may only be doing this in the US or they may just be showing it to a small percentage of their users to gain data before a full roll-out.

Interactive searching. It’s bound to be a more effective way. Man (or woman) / machine (read Google) Interaction. I’ve pushed for this idea in the past. Ask Jeeves/Teoma started this kind of idea by pointing out some relevant clusters of ideas. I think Google is starting to cook with gas here. Thanks for pointing this out.
