Marissa Mayer, Google vice president of search, announced on Wednesday at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco, California, the upcoming release of a search service on social networks, Google Social Search. The intention is to integrate the information created by the search social network of users. “We have been thinking about social networks for a long time,” Mayer said during the event.

The creation of Google Social Search shows the recognition, by Google, the need for real-time information and demonstrates the company’s wish to continue innovating.

According to the site Mashable, the results based on data from social networks appear in the footnote, and will display information related to users’ searches. In the presentation made by Mayer at Web 2.0 Summit, was given the example of a search for “New Zealand”, which returned a list of results that included links to Gmail emails and posts in FriendFeed service, as reported site InformationWeek.

To access the new search service is necessary in order to use Google Labs, in addition to having a Google account, a profile on Google Profile and friends listed in Google Contacts. According to the eWeek site, the new tool will be available in a few weeks.
