Google’s new search feature let people quickly get airline flight information. Type in two different cities, or airport codes, in the Google search box and it will bring up two boxes to enter departing and returning flight dates. Below those are links to the travel Web sites Expedia, Hotwire and Orbitz. Clicking on one of those links leads directly to flight options for your selected itinerary on that site.

I tried this search feature on Google India but no luck. Looks like it is still in testing phase. But surely another revenue stream for Google.

We are know about eBay and here is an interesting deal on eBay. Jux2, a meta search engine which let you compare results across major search engines, is for sale on eBay. Jux2 came into picture as a comparative research tool to determine how different are the various search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN and Ask Jeeves and is anyone better than other?

With Jux2 you can:

• Get much more relevant information then using only one search engine.

• Get a combination of results that best suit the search from the best search engines. Example, the results that make the top 10 on both, say, Google and Yahoo, are probably great results that should be closer to the top of the results list… which is exactly where jux2 puts them.

• Save time by searching both your favorite search engine and your backup search engine at once.
