Google's new feature facilitates searching for quotes
Posted by Carolyn Lo on April 21, 2008 at 9:50 AM
Google has revamped their search feature in Google News, so that searching and browsing through quotations in news articles are easier. Users can now keep track of what his/her favorite politician, actor, or sports star is saying, as well as search within their quotes for a certain topic. Type a person's name in the search box on Google News, and recent quotes from that person will show above the search results. For more of a speaker's quotes, click on his/her name. There, users will have the opportunity to search within the quotes. For example, entering "Iraq" in the search box of John McCain's quotes will produce his quotes on Iraq.
This feature can be useful in finding original quotes from a huge amount of commentary pages and in finding specific quotes through many pages of transcriptions.
