Google Mail Lab
The article will provide a user with information on Google Mail (GM) Lab. Gmail has introduced a new feature in Gmail Labs. This helps a user to search Google Docs and Internet from their Gmail account.
This feature will extend the regular mail search with the integration of Google Docs and Google Sites. The feature will return a user the most relevant documents and sites right in his/her Gmail. If a user wants to enable the particular feature then he/she can navigate to Google Labs settings and seek and enable the feature saying “App Search”. after that a user can save the settings that he/she has made.
Let’s see what is App Search is. An App Search extends search with Google Docs and Sites results. It will find the most relevant docs and sites and show a user below the Gmail search results. This will be helpful for a user as in this manner a user will be able to find documents and pages from the other services in a quick manner. In order to use Apps Search, a user can go to Settings and then Labs options in Gmail and then enable Apps Search lab. In this way, Gmail Search will be changed to Search Mail and Docs from the Search Mail. A user will then be able to easily search documents stored on docs and also search emails on Gmail. Gmail is becoming a central location for performing all searches.
There is a possibility that this feature might not work straightaway and a user will not be able to see results fro the Google docs account. A reason behind this can be that Gmail might take some time to index all the files in the Google Docs and Sites account.
A user can easily enable the feature go to his/her Google Labs tab in Settings and then scroll down till he/she see a header for “Available Labs”. Under this header a user can enable the “Apps Search” feature and save the settings.
If a user wants to use Gmail to search then he/she should go to Home » Google » Search Email, Google Docs and Sites from Gmail Dashboard.
