New Mac software available from the maker of Chrome
Google has posted an update on the Mac development team's blog, notifying Mac users that a developer preview of the Google Quick Search Box is available for immediate download. The free tool aims to take Google's powerful web searching features out of the web browser and put them on your Mac desktops.
Google revealed its interest in having as many beta testers as possible willing to participate in taking the Google Quick Search Box from an "experimental" state to a stable and powerful search tool.
"One of our goals at Google is to make your search experience as fluid as possible. While much of our work is focused on Google.com, we're trying to make it just as easy to search outside your browser," the Google Mac Team said. "For the last year, we have been working on a new, open-source quick search box. Today, we are releasing our first developer preview for the Mac," the team enthusiastically announced.
"This Mac version is much more experimental than its iPhone sibling, Google Mobile App, and through it you will be able to see many of the areas we are exploring: contextual search, actions, and extensibility. It is by no means feature-complete, but is a very good indication of things to come," the post added.
"If you are interested in participating in our experiment, head over to the Google Code site and give it a try. We are eager to involve users in the development process, and will be posting new builds frequently. Over the coming months we'll be posting a few articles about the architecture and interaction we are exploring, and we look forward to your feedback."
The Google Mac Team also has a quick-start guide ready for anyone eager to try out the Quick Search Box. In the document, users will also be able to learn of some compatibility issues with Firefox and Gmail, as well as other details regarding its functionality.
Google Quick Search Box is a Universal app that requires Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Use the link below to download the program now.
