» Google gets a sub-search

Google are adding search boxes within some high profile results. Try searching for something like ‘Five’ on Google and you’ll get a search box appearing within the Channel Five listing.

This might seem like a good idea, but it does seem to be Google looking to hang onto visitors for just a little longer. Most decent sites that need searching will have implemented a search facility within the site. Relying on Google to perform a top down scrape of the site and delivering up a load of results (along with their AdWords!) is not the best experience.

I like to see the site I’m searching, so for now I’ll be leaving the secondary search alone.

project manager: can you do this for our client by the end of the day?
developer: ooh. I don't know if that's technically possible.
project manager: That's ok, but can you do it anyway?
developer: no, I'm already scheduled to do that other thing you asked me to do by the end of the day.
project manager: oh, but I told them on Monday this would be done by today
developer: so which is more important?
project manager: they're both really important
developer: I'll see what I can do.
project manager: cool
