On Wednesday, Google announced its Internet search engine would draw
information from its users’ Gmail accounts on its main results page for
those who opt into its pilot program.
The feature announced Wednesday 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’s more than 425 million
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. Now, 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.
