At a "Google's Searchology press event" a spokesperson announced a new Google search called "Universal Search." Under this search engine, "you'll no longer have to search books, videos, pictures, and the Web separately. The new Google search will display everything on one page." In addition, the Universal Search engine will also allow you to play videos from Google and YouTube that will "even play in the Google search results." A Universal navigation bar will also allow you to quickly switch between services, like search and Gmail.
