Google retools search engine

By

In a bold and potentially risky move, Google is making dramatic changes to the way it helps hundreds of millions of people find information on the Internet. Executives Wednesday unveiled a new master search engine at the company’s Mountain View headquarters. In addition to pointing people to Web sites, Google will now steer them to digital books, movies, images, news articles and maps that could contain the answers they are looking for.

The new search engine at google.com, whose features are going to be slowly rolled out over the coming months, combines half a dozen search engines previously used only by a handful of cognoscenti who knew where to find them on Google’s sprawling Web site.
