Understanding Google real-time search

I recommend Danny Sullivan’s way excellent post yesterday at Search Engine Lane, Google Launches Real Time Search, to get a superior handle on Google’s newly released search subset.

Google real-time web search has not rolled out to everyone yet. But the Search Engine Land article clues you into how to view it. There is a Google Labs front-end where you can try it out. (See the “RTSearch” in the URL?) As the article illustrates, do a search for “health care”, click on “Show options” and then “Updates” and you can view the rolling search results.

You may have more fun watching the real-time rolling search results for, say, Sarah Palin.
