The end of the road may officially be near for Google Base.
Two years ago, Google started integrating a secondary search box into job query results that would then take users to job listings on Base. Knowing how much job board traffic is (or can be) driven by search engines, I (and I wasn’t alone) believed […]

Probably one of the many tests that won’t go anywhere, but Google is currently adding search within specific domains via Web searches.
