POWER TIP
College football in Sports OneBox
Football fans can now search for game times and scores of their favorite college teams during the big bowl games coming up. For example, typing [ncaaf] or [texas football] into the search box will return game information at the top of the search results page. This is in addition to the major U.S. leagues for a variety of sports (NFL, NHL, MLB, MLS, and NBA) and six major European football (aka soccer) leagues we recently added.

MISCELLANY
As 2008 comes to a close, we invite you to see what was on the collective mind as demonstrated by the aggregation of billions of Google searches from around the globe. It was a wild year with many momentous events, to say the least, and through it all Google users kept pace with the U.S. elections, the Summer Games and social networks (online, at least). Of course, we also made time for superheroes and super-celebrity breakups, but even those diversions couldn't take our thoughts away from the world's changing political and economic landscapes. With so much at stake and so much uncertainty in the year ahead, it's comforting to know that we are collectively concerned and "in this together," search-wise. For more of the year's highlights, take a look at our Year-End Zeitgeist website.
