Fagan's Google Ultimate Interface | Fagan Finder

OK, quick pop quiz. How many different types of search  can you do at Google? Web, Images, News etc. How does 10 sound? 30? 50? 90? How about around 140 instead? Michael Fagan, who I rate very highly has produced the Google Ultimate Interface which is worth taking a look at. He's broken the options down into things like Web, Discussion, Personal, Books, Scholar, Place and so on.

He's also produced a 'Search by Date' resource page which allows you to do an easy 'From/To' search on the general web (Using Google, Ask and Exalead), News, blogs, realtime, published items, and miscellaneous.

He's on a roll, as he's also produced a Product Search Engines page. Price comparison search, marketplaces, handmade, product reviews, manuals, ethical shopping and so on.

I really like what Michael does, and I've referenced him a few times in the past, and mention him on my courses. If you've not checked out his stuff, do go and have a look. It's clear, easy to see and follow. Top notch stuff!
