Google to Improve Search Interface

Google will begin to coordinate their main search function across vertical categories to make it easier for users to perform a single search and receive results from multiple types of media and content, said Google co-founder Sergey Brin Oct. 19."When you do search you will see, for example, images and news stories and products across the top that you can click to," said Brin.

"There are increasingly many ways that we are integrating together all of our search offerings so you don't have to pick where you're going to search first."Brin did not reveal any specifics of how this change will be implemented.

Currently, when you search through Google's main search interface, the results page will display pure results, image results, a drop-down refinement box, or a mix of those, depending on the search terms.
