The Live.com team has compiled a nice list of the most searched terms in 2006. The list contains different categories such as celebrity images, news, products, and travel. Because the FIFA World Cup this year, generated so many soccer related searches, they also added a list with the Top 10 soccer searches.

Today Google announced the release of Google Patent Search, which allows you to search the full text of the U.S. patent corpus and find patents that interest you. The Patent Search uses the same technology that powers Google Book Search, so you can scroll through pages and zoom in on text and illustrations just like you can with books.
The Advanced Patent Search page allows you to search by criteria, including patent number, inventor, and filing date. At the moment there are 7 million patents of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) searchable.
If you are looking for worldwide patents, you should visit the site of the European Patent Office, which includes a database with more then 50 million patent documents from around the world.

Google announced the release of a new version of their Google Toolbar for Firefox. The third version contains all the features from the Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer, such as storing your bookmarks on a Google server or sending SMS. But it also has an exclusive feature only for Firefox users - ”Docs & Spreadsheets” allows you to open a lot of different document types in your Firefox Browser, instead of downloading and then viewing them with a separate application.

According to Tim Mayer, from Yahoo! Search, a Search Index Update is going on right now:
“We are in the process of rolling out some changes to our search results. As usual, you may be seeing some changes in ranking as well as some shuffling of the pages that are included in the index throughout this process. This update began on Sunday night and should be complete by tomorrow morning.”
I have not seen any changes yet, but lets see what happens till tomorrow!

Google started the first tests for their upcoming broadcast advertising service. The service should work similar to their Adsense service - they want to automate the sales of advertising spots and require a commission from the radio stations. According to Google, the service should start with 700 radio stations in more than 200 cities in the USA.
Medium-term Google wants to expand the clientele to more than 5000 stations. Google did not give any information, on the starting date.
Google bought the advertising company “dMarc Broadcasting” for $102 million earlier this year. That should help them, to get their feet on the ground, in this sector.
