Google Real-Time Search showing sorted results by date
“When they are relevant, we’ll rank these latest results to show the freshest information right on the search results page. Try searching for your favorite TV show, sporting event or the latest development on a recent government bill. Whether it’s an eyewitness tweet, a breaking news story or a fresh blog post, you can find it on Google right after it’s published on the web,” explains Google.
With Google real-time search, results are coming in from freshly published web pages, Tweets, MySpace updates and shockingly, Facebook public profiles.
Google sorts the results by date, so you won’t be able to use the service to find popular tweets, news articles that are frequently referenced, you’ll still find spam messages and re-tweets. There are plenty of search engines that aggregate messages from micro-blogging services (Twingly, FriendFeed), but none of them managed to rank the results by relevance.
