What’s The Hold Up With Google Universal Search?
By Jim Kukral | September 13, 2007
It was announced months ago, so where is it? If you go and look at the search results for pretty much any phrase, you are starting to see “some” universal search results appear, but not everything… yet.
So what’s the hold up Google?
If you don’t know what Google Universal Search is, feel free to watch this video we made here in the office that explains it in “human” terms. :)
As you can see, Google Universal Search is the future of search where they will bring in different “pieces” of content like blogs, news, videos, books, maps, etc… And regular website results as well. The point being that Google provides the most relevant and reaching set of results that help you find what you’re looking for.
So again, what’s the hold up Google? We want our universal search!
Perhaps it’s because they’re still trying to figure out the percentage of when/where to “put” outside results into the regular organic listings. Who knows, but I know we’re ready for it.

I’ve noticed an influx of universal results when I search for Terms that are particularly hot in the news right now. I’m certain that we’ll see more and more of it as time goes on.
