Google expands Gmail Search Field trial to include Calendar results
Posted on 23:08 by Maria Scott
Google has expanded its Gmail Search
Field Trial by adding Calendar results. Now users can find their
schedule by simply typing "What is on my calendar today" into the search
bar.
“With all that you juggle every day, its
easy to lose track of appointments, plans, and reminders. With today's
expansion of our Gmail Search Field Trial (http://goo.gl/dQGNs), we've added Calendar results to your Gmail and Drive results,” says Google in an post.
“You can learn your entire schedule for
the day by searching for [what is on my calendar today]. Or if you'd
want to know when you're meeting up with your friend Bryan for lunch,
type [when am i meeting bryan]. A search is a search, and with the field
trial you can securely see results that are important to you, no matter
where the answer may be.”
To recall, Google's
field trial is available only after you opt in. The trial brings
information from Gmail, reciepts, reservations and even Google Drive
documents onto the search engine results page.
Last year, Google added Gmail messages into the search results
with an objective to make the search “truly universal”. "Sometimes the
best answer to your question isn't available on the public web — it may
be contained somewhere else, such as in your email. We think you
shouldn't have to be your own mini-search engine to find the most useful
information — it should just work,” Google then said in a blog post.
