Google has this amazing experiments going on at its labs area, that some of them are really awesome, they should be available on the public platform. Unfortunately, Google have still not made them public, possibly because of incomplete testing. Also, not all of them are that awesome, some are lame and dumb even for a four year old. But here are two such tools in Google labs that I think should already be made public, for its pure awesomeness !

1. Search YouTube videos by comments

If you didn’t know yet, YouTube is the second most popular search engine after Google online ! And they have this awesome feature that will let you search YouTube videos based on comments made by users. How cool is that ? You can try the feature at the labs here.

2. Use Keyboard shortcuts to navigate between Google search results

This is for the power user. If you’re the type who frequents Google search results page more than anything else, then this feature should let you use shortcuts like > and  < to navigate between search results.

Here are some shortcuts

J Selects the next result.

K Selects the previous result.

O Opens the selected result.

<Enter> Opens the selected result.

/ Puts the cursor in the search box.

<Esc> Removes the cursor from the search box.

You can try it here.
