Nick, perhaps, though I hope not. As far as I know, the apps and search quality teams at Google don’t contend for resources, so I can’t see why one project should be at the expense of the other.

I think with Wave coming out projects like this are going to fall by the wayside. They just never got the ramp up they needed to really push in front of their audience.

Max, I hadn't noticed that--but it validates my skepticism about their previous design decision to put the facets at the bottom. As for pointing Google Squared at a web site to expose its facets, I think that's a long way off. These guys claim to be able to do something like what you suggest, but I'm again quite skeptical.

ps – i’d still like to be able to give google squared a website, like walmart.com, and see it tabulate all its products.

i also just noticed (i dont know when it happened) that google has put the facets from its product search on the left hand side, rather than the bottom! interesting decision, given that last time i spoke to daniel russell he said that they’d decided bottom was best. it must be to be consistent with other search options.
