Google has created an experimental search page and has added some new features to its “alternative views” experiment from last May.

Map view is one of the new features described in the official Google Blog. Andrew Hogue writes,” you’d like to sit back and enjoy some jazz around town. This information is on the web and accessible through regular web search, but probably spread out over many sites and pages.”

“Unless one of these pages has a map, it might be hard to visualize all the locations at once. Map view solves this problem by plotting some of the key locations contained in your web results onto a map.”

“After scrolling or zooming the map, try clicking on the ‘Update Results’ button near the top left corner of the map to show more results just in the area you’re looking at.”

Timeline view is another feature that does the same thing as map view, but for dates found on the Web. It features dates of upcoming events along with biographical information generated from your search results.

Info view is the final new feature that Google has added. Hogue writes, “It doesn’t dramatically change the visualization of results; web pages are still displayed vertically as usual. Now you’ll notice a new control panel on the right side of the page:

“Clicking on the different options in the panel changes the information shown below each result. Usually we show some text from the page that includes a few of the words you searched for. Now you can instead reveal text containing dates, locations, measurements, or images.”
