Google Launches New Search Engine for Journalists and Professionals
Google is not just a basic search engine. Google has expanded beyond borders and has gone into various types of fields. But the company is also further expanding into the search field and has launched an additional service it likes to call as Dataset Search. This tool provides easier access to millions of datasets that are available on the web.
Dataset is a service that can be used by anyone, but this was built keeping journalists and data scientists in mind. The company is right when it feels that scientists from many disciplines and a various number of journalists live and breathe data. And for people like them, Dataset is key. Dataset thus allows them to find the required data which would then be used for work, or just to satisfy their intellectual curiosity.

So, where does this Dataset gets its data from? The service scans and surfaces result from publishers sites, digital libraries and also authors’ personal web pages. But yet another question arises, what makes Dataset stand out from the ordinary Google search engine? Well, Dataset markup allows publishers to present their data to Google in a way that Google and other search engines can easily understand and recognize.

Right now, Dataset is in Beta, but the search engine can be used to find references to most datasets in various subjects that are provided by news organizations around the world. Google has plans to expand this service based on the number of users on this service. Google has also planned to up its anti-fake news plan by filtering out searches that will appear on this search engine.
Right now this Dataset Search is available in multiple languages and works typically like any other search engine. So, for the user it is easy. Just type in the desired keyword, and Google would do the rest for you. Though it can be said pretty fairly that most of the backend work gets taken care by Google.
