A while ago, Google had announced it’s new experiment on making searches more personal. The idea was to get search results from all over the world including your own social circles. This is now made live in Beta on Google.com. If you search Google.com, you would see the results from your own social community (friends, family, etc.) under a new header called “Results from your social circle.”

How is it different from what you have now?

Well, if you search for something in Google, you would find a lot of websites and pages describing or related to the keyword phrase you put in. Plus, it also lets you know what your friends and family have to say about it. For example, if you’re looking to buy a laptop, you will find a lot of shopping sites holding up their products in a normal google search. But social search can also get you opinions from the pages of your friends or relatives if they have posted about some of the best deals they have found elsewhere.

You can see more on the video given below:

Note: The new feature will be available for all “Signed in” users in “English” - so if you don’t see the social search yet even if you’re signed in, it’s just being rolled out; so you might have to wait a few days till it’s available everywhere.
