Google changes name of Product search, again! Sort of…

Posted by multippt

Google has just renamed its product search from “Products” to “Shopping“, giving Google’s product search 3 names to work with (with the first one being “Froogle”). That change is only on the main page of Google. 

I guess Google might be trying to reach out to some nice would-be shoppers to use it’s product search feature, seeing that Christmas is not too far away. After all, why did it promote Product Search to the front page in exchange of Google video (though not too much of a problem now that Google has Youtube)? Well, at least it makes Product Search the second beta Google service to appear in the Google top bar.

A few others notice it, but it’s just a change in a word on the main page of Google; no big of a deal is it? But if almost no one noticed it, Google should try to make it more visible…
