=== Universal search ===
"Universal search" was launched by Google on May 16, 2007, as an idea that merged the results from different kinds of search types into one. Prior to Universal search, a standard Google search would consist of links only to websites. Universal search, however, incorporates a wide variety of sources, including websites, news, pictures, maps, blogs, videos, and more, all shown on the same search results page.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Marshall |first=Matt |date=May 16, 2007 |title=Google's move to "universal search" |url=https://venturebeat.com/2007/05/16/googles-move-to-universal-search/ |access-date=December 9, 2017 |website=[[VentureBeat]] |archive-date=December 10, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171210071603/https://venturebeat.com/2007/05/16/googles-move-to-universal-search/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Sullivan |first=Danny |date=May 16, 2007 |title=Google Launches "Universal Search" & Blended Results |url=https://searchengineland.com/google-20-google-universal-search-11232 |access-date=December 9, 2017 |website=[[Search Engine Land]] |archive-date=December 10, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171210071528/https://searchengineland.com/google-20-google-universal-search-11232 |url-status=live }}</ref> [[Marissa Mayer]], then-vice president of search products and user experience, described the goal of Universal search as "we're attempting to break down the walls that traditionally separated our various search properties and integrate the vast amounts of information available into one simple set of search results.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mayer |first=Marissa |author-link=Marissa Mayer |date=May 16, 2007 |title=Universal search: The best answer is still the best answer |url=https://googleblog.blogspot.no/2007/05/universal-search-best-answer-is-still.html |access-date=December 9, 2017 |website=Official Google Blog |archive-date=December 10, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171210071719/https://googleblog.blogspot.no/2007/05/universal-search-best-answer-is-still.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

In June 2017, Google expanded its search results to cover available job listings. The data is aggregated from various major job boards and collected by analyzing company homepages. Initially only available in English, the feature aims to simplify finding jobs suitable for each user.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Lardinois |first=Frederic |date=June 20, 2017 |title=Google launches its AI-powered jobs search engine |url=https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/20/google-launches-its-ai-powered-jobs-search-engine/ |access-date=June 22, 2017 |website=[[TechCrunch]] |publisher=[[AOL]] |archive-date=June 21, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170621174144/https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/20/google-launches-its-ai-powered-jobs-search-engine/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Gebhart |first=Andrew |date=June 20, 2017 |title=Google for Jobs is ready to help your employment search |url=https://www.cnet.com/news/google-for-jobs-is-ready-to-help-your-employment-search/ |access-date=June 22, 2017 |website=[[CNET]] |publisher=[[CBS Interactive]] |archive-date=June 20, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170620152758/https://www.cnet.com/news/google-for-jobs-is-ready-to-help-your-employment-search/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
