Google to include people's Gmail in search results

SAN FRANCISCO — Google is creating an information bridge between its influential Internet search engine and its widely used Gmail service in its latest attempt to deliver more personal responses more quickly.

Such Gmail results will typically be shown to the right of the main results, though in some instances, the top of the search page will highlight an answer extracted directly from an email. 
 
Google ran into trouble over privacy in 2010 when it tapped the personal contact information within Gmail accounts to build a social networking service called Buzz. Google set up Buzz in a way that caused many users to inadvertently expose personal data from Gmail. 
 
After getting feedback from the test participants, Google hopes to give all Gmail users the option of plugging their accounts into the main search engine.
Google is also willing to display information from other email service in its main search results.
Personal information from Google Plus, a social networking service started last year to compete with Facebook, has been featured in Google’s main search results. The destiny of search is to become that perfect Star Trek computer.
 
Google said that it will soon be releasing an improved version of its voice-powered search application for Apple Inc’s iPhone and iPad.
 
Google released the tool on its Nexus 7 tablet computer and other devices running on the latest version of its Android mobile operation system. The version for Apple’s operating system, expected within a week, will be an alternative to Siri, the built-in virtual assistant on the iPhone 4S.
