Next dimension in search - Google Squared

Google has released a new search tool - Google Squared. This provides a structure to the unstructured data. It searches for all the related information and puts the data into a "Square" - a typical spreadsheet format. One can add rows and columns to it and save the Square.

It looks very good at the first look. All the best Google!!
