Google’s Internet search engine Wil get more personal by highlighting information in users Gmail accounts on its main results page. Users already can search within their e-mail accounts to find something they need, such as an order from Amazon.com or an airline reservation.
The feature announced today marks Google’s latest attempt to deliver data that people are seeking more quickly as it tries to maintain the dominance of its lucrative Internet search engine.
Google Inc. is initially testing the feature with 1 million Gmail users who must sign up to participate.
Gmail users who join the trial will be shown a list of relevant e-mails on Google’s main search results page if the correspondence contains a word entered in a search request.
