Google has added a new Location feature to their Options sidebar, allowing you to filter search results to find things near you. To access it, click the Show options link near the top of the search results page, then click the Nearby link. (You can also customize the location if your default isn’t right and tweak the search depth based on city, region, or state.) It’s interesting to watch as more and more web services incorporate location; part of the original importance of the web was its ability to make location irrelevant, but clearly location is an important part of the web’s future.

The search giant showed us how real-time search would work, but very quietly turned on the actual feature this morning. Search for a topic that’s getting a lot of play on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, or Identi.ca, and you’ll see those results in a (strangely) scroll-able mini-section on your results page. Are you seeing these results unexpectedly today? Have they been helpful, or just noisy? [ReadWriteWeb]
There are fails. And then there are fails.
In the following video (after the break), taken by a surveillance camera, a worker on a forklift tries earnestly to move boxes around a vodka warehouse in Moscow. (Ed. Note: Way to propagate Russian stereotypes, Moscow.) Epic calamity ensues. With one swerve of the wheel, he singlehandedly turns the place into a Jenga game gone horribly wrong. Incredibly, the guy walked away with only minor injuries, although the incident resulted in the loss of an estimated $150,000 worth of vodka and cognac (a tragedy in its own right). The entire thing has taken the world by total surprise. Heavy machinery? Vodka warehouse? Accident? Noooo way. [From: Urlesque and Huffington Post]

If you’re looking for a particular web page rather than a particular result, Google has added “Page Previews” to the left-hand search options sidebar to make that feat much easier. It’s a fairly low-resolution, compressed image, but if you happened to remember what a certain page looked like, or just wanted to avoid another page you know will clutter up results, it might be pretty helpful.

As rumored, Google Music Search (aka Onebox) is a music search feature that appears inside Google search that will give you not a little 30-second clip, but a full song play.
Basically, as you can see in the picture, you will see play buttons alongside different songs when you get search results. If you press play, a popup from MySpace (iLike) or Lala appears, letting you play the full song and giving you buttons to buy it or get more info. You will also have the chance to check out the band on other services/sites, including Pandora, iMeem and Rhapsody. (As you might imagine, there’s no mention of iTunes in all of this.)
In essence, Google isn’t playing the music at all. It’s up to MySpace and Lala to manage the rights of the full-song playback business, and to serve up the content. For more info, check out the YouTube video or Google blog. They say they’ll be rolling it out to US Google users over the next day, so be on the lookout. [Google]
