Loading ...Google labs has recently launched a new product called Google Squared - it extracts data from web pages and displays the search results in a grid format. What Google squared does is that it structures the unstructured data on web pages. When you give a search query, it essentially searches the web to find the facts, extracts them and presents them in a meaningful way.
For example, if you do a search for “small cars”, it returns results in a tabular format with the headings:
Names
Images
Transmission
Year
Class
Furthermore, if you want to customize the search result, it is possible to add columns. In this case, you can add columns like Manufacturer, Height, width, length etc. You can also delete rows and columns that you do not want in the square.
Sources from Google say that “It takes an incredible amount of compute power to create one of those squares,” There are a lot of features that can be incorporated like sorting, filtering etc. Look out for more features that will be added in the days to come.
Google Squared can prove useful for targeted searches like product search, health search, scientific searches etc. Getting back structured results is definitely a major new direction for search.
Check out how Google describes the new service.

Hi, Congratulations to the site owner for this marvelous work you’ve done. It has lots of useful and interesting data.
It is a pity, that now I can not express - there is no free time. I will be released - I will necessarily express the opinion on this question.
Google Squared appears to be similar to my patent application:
Frankly, I am getting a Déjà vu effect while going through the “Google Squared” application because it appears to be very similar in function to my United States patent application which was filed on April 12, 2007 and as publicly disclosed by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on October 16, 2008, when the patent application was published.
My patent application is titled as “Method And System For Research Using Computer Based Simultaneous Comparison And Contrasting Of A Multiplicity Of Subjects Having Specific Attributes Within Specific Contexts” bearing Document Number “20080256023” and Inventor name “Nair Satheesh” which may be viewed at http://patft.uspto.gov/ upon Patent Applications: Quick Search.
Google Squared appears to be using at least some if not many of the same methods and systems as set forth by me more than two years ago in my patent application. In fact there are many more methods and systems disclosed in my patent application which I believe will help resolve certain inaccuracies found in current Google Squared application.
I have issued legal notices to Google through my Patent Attorney in the US but Google has not responded yet to any of my notices.
