AOL Search with Fullview (AOL Search 7.0) Leaves Beta

AOL Search with Fullview (AOL Search 7.0 Leaves Beta)
Btw, the word FullView has been trademarked by AOL. The beta ended on Tuesday.

From the site:

AOL Search does more than just help you find what you need. It lets you discover all sorts of information--including videos, pictures, sound clips, news stories and more--all related to your search. And they're all seamlessly integrated in the FullView panel, right on the first page:

* Editorial content
* Pictures or images
* Video
* Audio
* News
* Shopping
* Local information

Sponsored links result above organic links vs. in the right rail. Gone, the search refinement/clusters in the left rail as seen in this screen cap of the previous versions of AOL Search.

Similar to Ask.com (something they've been doing for years) is that the right rail is now used for content. At Ask, it's their Zoom Related Search Feature that helps the search narrow and/or expand their search along with (in some cases) offering lists of related names.

At AOL, the right rail now contains various info like weather, travel info, yellow pages from various AOL properties. Features appear to be based on the type of search.

Here's another example with different options in the right rail. This time, video clips and news.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
