How to perform real-time search using Google

Google recently added the functionality to perform real-time search across social networks like Twitter and Facebook. Though this functionality is added, however, these options are not turned on by default. To perform a real-time search using Google, here is how you should proceed.

As usual, go to the Google homepage and enter a keyword or a search term. Click on ‘Search’ button and you will be on the search results page. Now to see the real-time search results for the keyword (search term) you entered, you should first click on “Show Options” button.

You will see that a left pan comes up. This pan allows you to limit your search results to videos, images, blogs, forums, books, etc. Click on “Latest” option in this pan. You will see that the Twitter and Facebook public feeds will show up and will get updated in real time.
