Today's Tourbus Stop:
Google Print
------------------
Google Print Beta
Audience: Everyone
------------------
Back in October, we talked about Amazon's "Search Inside the Book"
feature that lets you search for books whose pages contain a
particular keyword. [You can find that post in the Tourbus archives
at either http://www.tourbus.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi or
http://tinyurl.com/34nlu ]
Well, it looks like Google is playing around with a similar tool
called "Google Print." With Google Print you can search inside both
books and magazines for pages that include your particular keywords.
Oh, and like the rest of Google's tools, Google Print is completely
free.
Sound like something you'd like to try? Well, all you need to do is
add
site:print.google.com
to the end of your Google search term(s). That's it.
For example, a search for
pirates site:print.google.com
shows 983 book and magazine excerpts that contain the word "pirates."
Now for the bad news: You and I are getting a sneak peek at this new
service well before it is ready for public consumption. For example,
Google Print's database is quite small [but growing every day] and the
print.google.com homepage is still blank. BUT, I figured you'd like
to get a sneak peek at something Google is working on, something you
can now use to impress your friends and coworkers. :)
To learn more about Google Print, take a look at their FAQ page at
http://print.google.com/print/faq.html
Enjoy!
