Google Adds 'Search Options' to Search Results

Google just took the wraps off a kick-ass new addition to its bread-and-butter search engine: Search Options are tools that let you "slice and dice" your results to produce new, more targeted views. Watch and learn:

To access Search Options, just click the eponymous link at the top of your search-result page. That opens a temporary sidebar, which you can close again just as easily.

Personally, I'm loving the Recent results option, which is great for finding new and timely links. What do you think? Did Google just make search that much better, or are we suffering from unabashed fanboy drool? [via The Official Google Blog]
