Google wants to give you the moon, literally.
On your phone, talk about an out of this world search. It's new software on Google's Android platform that lets you find the stars wherever you are.
Google invited the press to click through its new search offerings. The company calls it "searchology."
The "Wonder Wheel" lets you branch off from your original search topic and find a wider range of information.
"As the internet becomes more and more open, and people can do more and more with the net, people want to do more and making search more conversational is what we're really going for," Kavi Goel with Google said.
The "Google Squared" boxes up and compares information collected from your search.
Click again and you get "Timeline" which shows the most popular search results based on dates.
It's all trying to make your search experience smoother as Google tries to stay ahead of the competition.
"I think the main thing is to give people a better understanding so they
have more information about what to click on," Jack Menzel with Google said.
From a GPS enabled search on your laptop, Google wants to be all over your computer one click at a time.
