Google dices with random search; Froogle renamed 2:29PM, Thursday 19th April 2007
Google has added a pair of dice to its browser Toolbar that lets you search the Internet without entering a search term.

site chosen on the basis of your past searches. Click the dice again and you're sent to a new site.

'Don't expect very much at the beginning, but the more you build up your search history, and the more you use these features, the better they'll become,' notes Sep Kamvar, Google's Engineering Lead for Personalization. 'Over time, we will give you more and better recommendations.'

This option is currently only available in Windows.

Google has also changed the name of its Froogle service to the altogether-more-descriptive Google Product Search, at the same time refreshing its results interface (main picture) and more closely integrating it with Google Checkout, the online payments service that launched in the UK last week.
