In amerikanischen Blogs wird über ein neues Feature von Google Books berichtet, welches im Laufe des heutigen Tages freigeschaltet wird: „Rich Results“.
When you search for a book, Google Books doesn’t just look at word frequency or how closely your query matches the title of a book. They now take into account web search frequency, recent book sales, the number of libraries that hold the title, and how often an older book has been reprinted. …
Google hat dazu bekanntgegeben:
Starting today and rolling out over the next week to Books search users on Google.com and books.google.com, “rich results” bring more details about a specific book to the top of the search results list when relevant to the query. I’ve attached a screenshot.
Some details:
- When your query on Books search on Google.com or books.google.com is likely for a specific book like Eating Animals you will get a rich result on that book at the top that combines Books, Product and Web search.
- Related links appear that take you to web sites with relevant information tied to the book.
- Clicking on “More” takes you to the relevant Google Product search page.
- And clicking on a retailer link with pricing takes you to their site where you can buy the book.
- We added rich results to Google Books search to improve user experience.
