Google’s twitter search

I told you about my wet dream about twitter search and geolocaton.

Last week, Google brought onto us a new set of options for the search interface.
You can now filter your results by type (all, video, bla-bla) you can select to view images from found pages or use the wonderful Wonder Wheel.

The thing that gave me an adrenaline rush was the option to filter results by time and time frame. My favorite: ‘recent results!’
It’s like twitter search, only better. Imagine this in sets. Clearly, you can get updates from twitter, but the result set from Google includes that of twitter search(and many more for that matter)

It gets better. You can sort your results by date or by relevance. Read: pure Google power, brought to you in real time!

If you use Opera, this will make sense to you:
You can create a custom search that links directly to the Recent Results section. Just use this as the URL
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=opera&rls=en&tbo=1&tbs=rcnt%3A1&q=%s&btnG=Search
My keyword is ‘now’ but you can use whatever you like.

What I’ve learned from this is that my wet dream might just come true.
