Plenty of pe
ople are already familiar with SearchWiki; where you get to rearrange search results in your google searches, and even remove 'incorrect' results.
Well when using SearchWiki you have an option down at the bottom of the page to try more experimental searches. You can only activate one experimental search feature at a time. Here's what's out now.
SearchWiki with sound
Do you like SearchWiki? Do you enjoy having the power to remove results from your search results pages? Now you can do so in style by having a sound effect play along with the animation whenever you remove a result.
Recorded by our co-founder Sergey Brin himself, this sound effect is sure to please!

I tried in a bunch of different browsers and couldn't hear anything..
Alternate views for search results
See results on a timeline, map, or in context of other information types. With these views, Google's technology extracts key dates, locations, measurements, and more from select search results so you can view the information in a different dimension.
Timeline and map views work best for searches related to people, companies, events and places. Info view shows all the data found for each result, to help you select the best choice.


In Timeline view you can click on the timeline to narrow down your search, Map view just takes you to Google Maps. Info view shows a box on the sidebar that lets you change the descriptions in your search results. Here are some screenshots for a search for 'tomato' where I'm using the Dates Info option.
