Make Google Even Smarter With Google Subscribed Links

Just noticed this feature today in my Google Preferences page (I don’t visit this page regularly so I can’t tell how new this feature is).

This feature allows you to subscribe to different kinds of sources to lookup your query in, in addition to the “regular” search.

You can enable it in your Google Preferences. And you can manage your subscription in the Subscribed Links page.

For example, this is how my subscribed links page looks like:

Google Subscribed Links

After subscribing to a source, you’ll notice a special entry (or more) in the results of your search, with info from your subscribed link(s).  This is what I get when I look for “man grep”  (after subscribing to the Unix Man Pages):

Unix Man Pages At Google

I still cannot tell if this will boost your (my) productivity, but it’s a nice feature anyway.

Have fun ;-)
