Google is trying to expand the language search. The recent patent from the search engine giant describes the expanded language search engine. This will enable us to search for those pages in various other languages which could be done through the translation of the queries searched with.

This patent is expected to help users to receive various additional results in the user’s language. Users can also search for anything in their traditional language. The search engine will look for results, when these are specified by the searcher. They also return such results in other languages, based on various other factors including the popularity of the language, attributes of the users etc. Search history of the users, subject matter of a query and its relevance, the character type given as input by the user etc will also be considered when displaying results in languages for the users.

The language setting of the browser, search engine domain, user input etc all will be considered by the search engine for determining whether results have to be displayed in other languages. The search engine has to be set up to expand various languages used in selecting the results. This patent is expected to help Google to bring a large number of users.

Google has recently made attempts to make users to go for Firefox if they have been using internet explorer as their browser. Google has been provoking Gmail users to change their browser to Firefox or Chrome. As an initial step for this, messages like get faster Gmail was displayed to the users through their Gmail account.

The message came with a link to the pages which showed their support for the two browsers by Google, firefox and chrome. They explained that, Gmail will run faster in these two browsers as compared to other browsers. In this support page, Google also speaks about the latest and faster version of IE8, which is under development. They have suggested that users can download the beta version and provided a link to the page from where they could download this.
The most interesting of this is that, the message is being displayed in the accounts of users who are trying to access gmail from IE6. This is intended to promote these two browsers. The question of whether this attempt is justified or is reasonable remains unanswered. Google has the freedom to make sure that their products are safe. However, they should give users the freedom to take decisions instead.

Local web pages in the personal computer of users could be a main place for attack through internet. Mailing websites like gmail will not be able to do something which will prevent internet attack from directly affecting user’s desktop by sending downloadable pages to the local machine. The security policy implemented by Google chrome has various security features which prevent the attacks that can happen through the downloadable pages. This will help users to be safe from attacks through pages downloaded with Chrome and opened with other browsers.

Chrome will use the mark of the web technique to mark a website so that when other browsers like Internet Explorer sees the page, will consider the page as unknown site.

If the user has a default browser, pages downloaded by Google chrome will be launched using the same default browser. This page will be allowed to view like any other web page, by bypassing the security protection that is integrated in the site. This will help an attack to be successful as well. This case is seen in many browsers, but chrome has successfully implemented their security policy 101. Chrome has provided a facility, wherein the browser will ask for confirmation before downloading the pages.

When working with Google, you might have noted that it is possible to use Google as a country specific browser rather than a global one. When the searchers perform searching from different countries, for the same query word, the results displayed to the users will be different.

A recent patent granted to Google shows that search engine tries to associate web pages from various country locations with the queries made from those areas. The method will effectively bias the information in a way that results will be based upon the preferred country location of the searcher.

The preferred country in this context could be the country in which the searcher resides or a country which he is interested in or acceptable for him. Google has always tried to follow this and they have been using latest techniques and methods to develop their theory of working with this patent.

Google uses a search biaser tool which will help the search engine in determining the areas which are of interest to the searcher. The location of the searcher based up on the country location ie. IP address will be used for the working of this tool. The use of log files obtained from the Google toolbar will also help the search engine in displaying information through this country preference method.

Google has introduced Google chrome to make web browsing easier, simpler and faster for the users of chrome. Hence they have mixed the features from various browsers and removed their faults to make a quality browser for the users. When they have modified all the existing features available in the currently available browsers, they have made security too special and unique in chrome.
 
Google uses the blacklists as the first precaution to prevent their users from accessing malicious pages. The blacklists will have the lists of all existing malicious websites, which users are advised to stay away from. Google chrome updates the blacklists constantly to ensure the security of their customers. 
There is the principle of least privilege which will act as a protected mode, that doesn’t allow users to read or write from areas that are forbidden.

Another security step taken by Google chrome is the incognito mode in which the browsing history will not be saved by the browser or the cookies. This gives users a chance to browse secretly, with their browsing details not being exposed to others who use the same account. At the same time, they can use different modes for accessing internet.

Though there is the facility to automatically download pages to the users’ desktop, Google chrome is so designed to change this setting so that, users need not use this, when they are not in need of this feature.
