New Google features

Google has added some new features to its Search Options feature, a list of search-refinement features on the left-hand side of search results page that you can choose to turn on or off. They include the ability to filter for blogs, books, or news; and to see only sites you’ve already visited, or only sites you’ve never visited. For me, the most helpful new features are two that allow you to restrict results to a specific timeframe - for instance the last hour, or any range you specify. This latter one is enormously helpful. It lets you, for instance, find articles about John Key published prior to last year's elections. These new features follow on from others Google added just a few months ago.
