Now You Can Search Your Email, Docs & Spreadsheets Right From The Main Google Box
Results from your personal files appear in the auto-fill box as you type, and they’re also listed on the right sidebar of the search result page. I’ve been using the field trial for Gmail, and it’s pretty handy to be able to find everything in Google’s realm from one search box.
If you want to check it out, you can join the field trial. It’s currently available only in English and for @gmail.com addresses, so no Google Apps accounts yet.
But the trial seems to be going well. Once Google and its field trial users are satisfied, expect to see options for this kind of integration all around Google soon.
