Google just introduced a number of features, the coolest of which is their new catalog search. They’ve scanned in tons of catalogs, from the common Dell and Crutchfield to the ‘bet you didn’t know this existed’ catalogs like the Hamilton Eye Warehouse. Just the fact that they’ve managed to get all this data scanned in is amazing – what’s even better is you can use full text search on the catalogs and their interface will graphically highlight where it finds your search terms right on the jpegs. The next time you’re searching for just the right prop for your hallowe’en party or some Wormwood for that next batch of Absinthe you’re planning to brew, give this a try – it works remarkably well for something still in beta.
The Hamilton Eye Warehouse? Damn, I always knew you were up to something weird…
