Google is pretty secret about things they are going to launch in general, especially ground-breaking stuff. They don't want to give their competitors any advantage. @ Nikki May

I heard they are planning to launch a cool new social feature that involves their +1 function next thanksgiving (2011). Google is pretty secret about things they are going to launch in general, especially ground-breaking stuff. They don’t want to give their competitors any advantage.

For example, go to 'Search settings' in the upper-right hand corner of Google.com or Google.co.uk's main screen. Check 'Use strict filtering (Filter both explicit text and explicit images)' and then 'Save Preferences'. This turns on Google's SafeSearch feature, which they say block "web pages containing explicit sexual content from appearing in search results." Now go to the main search bar and type in "how to give" and then just wait. Google gives 10 suggested search queries, almost all of which are the names of sex acts. Select any of them and click 'Google Search' - You'll likely be shown a bunch of results which 'contain explicit sexual content'. Plus, the 'Searches related to...' section at the bottom of the page will also likely be filled with explicit offerings. This problem isn't restricted to the phrase 'how to give' - type 'how to sh' (then just stop and wait for suggested results), or 'how to st', or similar. Google's spending a lot of time and energy worrying about flu trends and renewable energy and electric cars. Maybe they should be spending more time worrying about whether their basic features work as described.

Displaying real time results in the SERPs may not be the ideal solution at the moment but eventually real time search will have very useful applications. It's a very new concept at the moment. On a side note: Can you give some details on what you mean by "the way BT handles IP addresses". BT is a major ISP here in the UK but I havent been able to find anything related on how they handle IP addresses that causes errors in local search. Many thanks, pksynths Hello Patrick,
