There is no information about the product launch or anything else, but it is suspected that the search engine will include some new features that have been tested in the past months. Google wants to expose some advanced search options that allow you to refine the results without opening a new page. The options are available in a sidebar that’s collapsed by default, but it can be expanded by clicking on “Search options”.
You’ll be able to restrict the results to forums, videos, reviews and recent pages. There’s an option that lets you customize the snippets by making them longer or by showing thumbnails. Google wants to make the process of refining queries more fun and exploratory by adding a “wonder wheel” of suggestions.
