Today, Google is rolling out some new features that may surprise and delight you. Or totally creep you out. We’ll see. Basically, the company’s web search will be able to access your Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google+. With the information it pulls in, Google web search will now be able to answer queries like “When does my flight leave?” or “Is my package here yet?” The new search results will be directly relevant to your own activities and will include flight info, reservations for hotels and restaurants, shipping and other status data on purchases you’ve made, events and plans from your personal calendar, and pictures you’ve uploaded to Google+. The new feature is available on mobile, tablets, desktop, Android, iOS — anywhere Google web search results are found. We see the new hotness (or creep-ness) as a continuation of what Google was doing waaaay back in 2012. Last year, the company started using social data and structured data to make search results more personal and much faster.
