GOOGLE UPDATES: Google Product Search for Holiday Season

Google Yahoo Msn UpdateGoogle has optimized its Products search feature for the forthcoming Thanksgiving and Holiday season shopping spree. Google has made a few improvements and brought new Gallery View mode, video product reviews, review summaries as well as store locations. Meant for those looking to buy things online, Google offers comparison of products and prices for shopping.

Google Product search has been optimized and tweaked slightly for the holiday season shopping. A new Gallery View shows bigger thumbnails of products that help in checking differentiating between two products say Mobile Phone.

Before one buys a product like netbook, it is wise to check the reviews online. Now, reviews summaries are included in the product pages that will have summaries of reviews posted online and get the consolidated overview from it.

If you desire to see the product working like a laptop or cell phone, test out the video reviews. Google Product search also provides location of the stores close to the ZIP code, City or State entered in the search. Actually, Product Search is in beta stage and shows only those located in U.S.

It would have been great if Google could optimize it for rest of the world as well. But, Google's Product Search is quite similar to Bing's Shopping search. Nevertheless, either of these comparisons based search engines do assist a user to narrow down to a specific stuff to purchase online or from stores.
