Google Answers
 In April 2002, Google launched a new service called Google Answers. It is an extension to the conventional search — rather than doing the search themselves, users pay someone else to do the search. Customers ask questions, offer a price for an answer, and researchers answer them. Researchers are screened through an application process that tests their research and communications abilities. Prices for questions range from $2 to $200; Google keeps 25% of the payment, sends the rest to the researchers, and charges an additional $0.50 listing fee. Once a question is answered, it remains available for anyone to browse for free. This service came out of beta in May 2003 and presently receives more than one hundred question postings per day. Google states that asking questions about google is not allowed on Google Answers. Google Answers This is a copyrighted and/or trademarked logo. ...

Google Catalogs
 As of late August 2004, Google Catalogs is in the beta stage. Numerous (over 6,600 at the time of this writing) print catalogs are archived on Google as scanned image files. Through the use of character recognition, users can search for a text string in these catalogs in a fashion similar to how they would for materials on the general web. Matching results are displayed through thumbnails of the pages on which the text was found, with the specific area of the page where the search result is found shaded in a yellow box. Another image file next to the thumbnail, a shrunk version of the highlighted area on the thumbnail, highlights the exact location of the search result. Users can then access the page of the catalog (as a larger graphic file) and change pages by using a navigation bar positioned above the page image. It might be worth noting that one can access the catalogs without a search as well. Google Catalogs This is a copyrighted and/or trademarked logo. ...

The original Google Groups interface, which was preferred by a great number of regular Usenet posters to the current Beta version, due to its closer adherence to established Usenet Netiquette (and note that where the previous paragraph says "advanced," many Web users would read "cluttered"), was available until May 4, 2005, on the overseas domains http://www.google.ca and http://www.google.co.uk. As of May 4, 2005, the so-called "Google Groups Classic" was taken offline and is only available on foreign-language overseas mirrors such as http://www.google.es and http://www.google.fr.

 Google Local helps you focus your search on a specific geographic location.

The service lets you search for a "What" such as pizza and a "Where" such as Poughkeepsie, New York. The purpose of Google Local is to help people find local businesses. Not only does Google Local display the website of the businesses, but often times it will also display the phone number and address.

It can interact with Google Local to restrict results to a certain areas. The service features draggable maps, a location search, and turn-by-turn directions. It has received early praise for the speed of its operation, produced by the pre-rendering of the maps it uses. [1] It currently only works with Internet Explorer and Mozilla-based browsers such as Mozilla Firefox. Google also recently added support for Opera and Safari web browser.

It was also quickly noticed that Google attempts to avoid suggesting potentially offensive searches. For instance, there are no suggestions for searches containing the word porn, but there are many for pr0n and other variations that aren't on the blacklist. Although pr0n (with a zero) is allowed, pron is on the blacklist, which has the side-effect of not suggesting searches containing any words that include pron such as apron, mispronunciation, pronunciation or prone. Unlike pron and sex, the word ass is only blacklisted when it appears with a space after it, so words containing ass such as associated are suggested. The blacklist also includes the word lesbian, but not faggot, nigger, shit, or several other words that are often included on profanity blacklists. Pavonazzeto marble sculpture, see Erotic art in Pompeii Pornography (from Greek πορνογραφια pornographia — literally writing about or drawings of harlots) is the representation of the human body or human sexual behaviour with the goal of sexual arousal, similar to, but (according to some) distinct from, erotica. ...

Google Deskbar
 In December 2003, Google launched the beta version of the Google Deskbar, a search tool which runs from the Microsoft Windows taskbar, without a browser having to be open. It can return film reviews, stock quotes, dictionary and thesaurus definitions, plus any pre-configured search of a third-party site (e.g. eBay or Amazon).

Google Desktop Search was likely developed in response to file and Web search capabilities that will be offered in the next major release of Microsoft Windows, codenamed Longhorn (slated for release in 2006) — features that directly compete with Google's core Internet search business. However, some claim that Google Desktop Search, as well as Longhorn's Desktop Search, was inspired by Spotlight, a competing technology that is currently being shipped with Mac OS X v10.4.

Keyhole
 On October 27, 2004, Google acquired Keyhole, a company creating online satellite maps that has the ability to view geographical information in 3D view. Keyhole does cover the entire globe with satellite imagery but not high resolution. They will focus on the larger and initially U.S. metropolitan areas. Keyhole has the largest commercial imagery database online in 3D today. It covers over 80 major metropolitan areas and thousands of cities. The satellite imagery, aerial photography, elevation data, street vectors, business listings, together are worth millions of dollars. The data are updated every two to three years on average. Since Google's purchase of Keyhole it has been renamed "Google Earth." Keyhole This is a copyrighted and/or trademarked logo. ...

The latest version includes pop-up ads blocking, automatic filling of forms, the ability to show the Google PageRank value for the current page being viewed, and SpellCheck, AutoLink and the WordTranslator.

Mozilla Firefox also has its own version of the Google Toolbar, the Googlebar, which is developed independently of and is not supported by Google or the Mozilla Firefox developers. It expands upon the official Google toolbar to the point that the only feature not replicated is the Google PageRank functionality. There are other tools that bring the PageRank functionality to Mozilla and Firefox, including a modification of Googlebar.

Google Web Accelerator On May 3, 2005, Google launched a downloadable web accelerator known as Google Web Accelerator. It can be integrated into Mozilla Firefox (taking the form of two new toolbar items) and Microsoft Internet Explorer (taking the form of a new toolbar), but it is also usable in a limited capacity with any web browser simply by setting the browser's proxy server to localhost:9100. It speeds up web browsing through the use of this local proxy server, which sends requests to Google's Web Accelerator servers to help get a faster response. The data between the local proxy and the accelerator servers is compressed to decrease transfer time. The Google Web Accelerator also uses caching and prefetching. Prefetching can be disabled. May 3 is the 123rd day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (124th in leap years). ...

However, there was recent controversy over the Accelerator as some users found that their personal website cookies were being shared to other users. This meant that some users found pages such as forum control panels of other users containing personal information appearing and that is was possible to spoof post as those other users.

It is thought this was the reason that downloads of the Google Accelerator software were disabled, however there were also technical issues with it following links that could cancel or delete website data. The prefetching option would potentially prefetch links such as "delete" or "log out", causing data loss and access problems. Google's servers also quickly reached their maximum capacity due to the widespread use of Accelerator: this is reason Google officially cited on the Accelerator website.
