Google has enabled one box searching for all Olympics related queries. So all you need to do to get every bit of information available online regarding the Olympics is to hit the search button of Google with the name of that Olympic Games category.
Google Blogoscoped is reporting that the feature doesn’t seem to work in Germany and is some sort of an exclusive for China and the U.S. This however is not the case with me, as I could see the Olympics one box results right from where Philip is i.e. Stuttgart, Germany. May be they have now updated their entire global index to show Olympics one box results.
Besides each result Google is showing an Icon depicting that game category, with link back to the official Beijing Olympics website. You can search for the results of the following Olympics games in Google one box – Archery, Athletics, Badminton, Baseball, Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Boxing, Canoe/Kayak Flatwater, Canoe/Kayak Slalom, Cycling BMX, Cycling Mountain Bike, Cycling Road, Cycling Track, Diving , Equestrian, Fencing, Football, Gymnastics Artistic, Gymnastics Rhythmic, Trampoline, Handball, Hockey, Judo, Modern Pentathlon, Rowing, Sailing, Shooting, Softball, Swimming, Synchronized Swimming, Table Tennis, Taekwondo, Tennis, Triathlon, Volleyball, Water Polo, Weightlifting, and Wrestling.
All you need to do is append “Olympics” in your search queries.
