Google Squared was an information extraction and relationship extraction product from Google.[1] It was announced on May 12, 2009 in response to the launch of Wolfram Alpha and was launched on Google Labs on June 3, 2009.[2] As part of the phasing out of Google Labs, Google Squared was shut down on September 5, 2011.[3]
Squared was developed at Google's New York office.[4] It was the first significant effort by Google to understand information on the web and present it in new ways.[5]
Google Squared extracted structured data from across the web and presented its results in spreadsheet-like format.[6] Each search query returned a table of search results which has its own set of columns - common attributes that are associated with the topic of a search.[2] Nathania Johnson of Search Engine Watch described Squared as "quite possibly ... one of Google's significant achievements".[7]

>> DANIEL: Hi, I’m Daniel, a product manager for Google Squared. Often, I want to see my search results in a table so I can compare items side by side. Squared lets me see hybrid cars in only a few clicks to find the one with the best mileage at a good price. To do this, Squared needs to find the names of hybrid cars and which price goes with which car. That’s even harder than searching the Web. Squared gives you options and choices that you can easily explore.
