Today Google has started making its search even more personal – though you do have a choice in the matter. “Search plus Your World,” according to Google, will help you find “your own stuff on the web, the people you and the things they’ve shared with you” as well as standard search results.
This personalization of the popular search engine includes three features. Personal Results bring you Google+ photos and posts, as well as other content specific to you and the people you know. Profiles in Search helps with finding people – and lets you connect with them instantly. Finally, People and Pages provides you with individual profiles and Google+ pages related to your search engine, better connecting you to the online community.
Of course, if that’s way too personal for you, a toggle at the top right of the results page lets you turn off “Search plus Your World” and takes you back into the cold, impersonal world of your standard Google search. Personal Search features will be showing up over the next few days for signed in Google users who use the search site in English – and no Google+ profile is required to view “Search plus Your World” results.
