Google Gives Real-Time Searches New Web Page

Google (GOOG) set up a Web address specifically for its real-time search engine, which indexes and delivers status updates, messages and other public content from social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook.

Google incorporated real-time links into search results in December, with users having to click on the "latest" and "updates" filters to access them, Reuters reported.

Now, Google Realtime, located at www.google.com/realtime, will let users view real-time results without the need for these filters.

The site will also let users filter results for geographic location or images. The site will also have an e-mail alert service to let searchers know when the site finds a specific query term while crawling real-time sources.
