Timeline Searching in Google

I was looking at the experimental searches available in Google and got to thinking about using the timeline one for History. You can search for a concept, or anything else and the results will be displayed on – yes – a timeline.

To the left is the search I did for my History topic for this half-term: Victorian Times. The resulting output shows the events along a timeline at the top and running along the left-handside. It included Victoria’s accention the throne, though not at the start of the list but didn’t seem to have an entry for her death. This is a “Google Labs” product and as such seems to need some work but an interesting tool to play with remembering the golden rule of using more than one source!
