Google Updates The Time Machine

Have you ever used the time operator implement in Google Search? If not, then you should really do it when you're looking to find out the time in a certain region of the world because it works quite amazing. Moreover, the Mountain View company recently improved it although its representatives didn't mention a thing about it.

As Philipp Lenssen from Google Blogoscoped discovered, the time operator now displays even more information depending on your query. For example, if you type a city name that can exist in several countries, Google's search engine displays the time information for all of them. Moreover, if you type the name of country, you can view the info for several cities. Remember that this option works only for some countries (try Australia for example).

"Google slightly improved their onebox that shows the current time in different locations around the world, across the different time zones. For one thing, the new time onebox result now shows different possible locations if the query is ambiguous . Also, the clock icon is now dynamic and shows the actual time... in gray/ silver when it�s night, and yellow/ gold when it�s day, apparently. The old time onebox was icon-less," Philipp Lenssen wrote in the blog post published today.

Personally, I rarely used the 'time' operator because I really don't need it. However, it is a very useful alternative for the downloadable software solutions that are meant to provide the same information straight on your desktop. Obviously, I would choose the Google technology rather than downloading and installing an application.

Although I'm sure that you know, there are numerous other Google Search operators that allow you to get better results in a matter of seconds. For example, you can search a certain website straight from Google. Try searching for the 'site:softpedia.com google' without the quotes to see its results.
