Google released a new personalized homepage widget which lists and visualizes your search history. For example, you’ll be able to see your top searches, the top gaining queries related to your searches (this one’s interesting!), and a graph plotting your search activity over time.

Download Google Image Results

Googlegrab is a desktop program which automatically saves images from any Google Image search for you. E.g. enter “logo”, and you’ll end up with a folder on your disk named “logo” containing many full-scale images (you can download certain sizes only, if you want to, and you can also toggle SafeSearch).

Google China Book Search?

Google is planning to expand its China services with a Chinese book search program, People’s Daily Online/ Shanghai Securities News reports.

SEO Extension for Google Results

The SEO for Firefox extension adds information such as a site’s PageRank, backlinks, age, or Bloglines subscribers to Google (and Yahoo) result pages. In the extension options, you can toggle which data you want to pull automatically, and which you only want to pull on-demand; a bottom-right toggle button lets you disable the results info boxes quickly when you don’t need them. This tool might be of interest not just for search engine optimization. [Thanks Tadeusz.]
