In their never ending quest to make online search both easier and more intuitive, Google has managed to come up with yet another way to make your search queries more relevant.

Announced recently, Google has significantly improved their algorithms to process the newest information much faster then previously possible. What this means to us regular searchers is a much more current search result that includes websites that were added yesterday, not last week.

Nowhere is this change more evident then with the related search suggestions feature. For those unfamiliar with these suggestions, Google will sometimes offer you alternative search terms that it feels may help you find what you are looking for. For instance, search for the ‘US Open’ and Google will offer you the related term ‘US Open 2008’, click on that and Google goes one step further with ‘US Open 2008 leaderboard’.

Thanks to its increased speed, Google will now update the related search suggestions at a much more rapid pace. This means that if the movie ‘Attack of The Killer Tomatoes’ was suddenly much more popular then the current ‘salmonella tomato scare’, then a search for ‘tomatoes’ might suggest the onscreen masterpiece instead of the health scare.

Google also claims to have teams of people manually working and experimenting to ensure that the related search suggestions feature returns the most relevant, user friendly results.
