Typing your queries in this new box means you are asking Google to show only results from this particular site.</p>
<p>For example, if you are looking for a good article about Obama but you want the write-up to come from The New York Times website, you can search for “<a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=New+York+Times">New York Times” in Google.com</a>. Then, in the search results, you’ll found this new box along with the links to nytimes.com. Instead of going to the New York Times’ homepage and search the article there, you can just use the new search box. Just type in “Obama” in this new site search box, and Google will find relevant articles for you <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=Obama&oi=navquery_searchbox&sa=X&as_sitesearch=nytimes.com">only from nytimes.com</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img src="http://www.thegooglemaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/new-york-times.JPG" alt="new-york-times.JPG"></p>
<p>After going through all the <a href="http://www.alexa.com/site/ds/top_sites?ts_mode=global&lang=none&page=1">Top 500 sites in Alexa.com</a> and trying all popular sites I can think of, I found 70 sites where we can use the site search box with the Google search results page.</p>

According to Google Docs and Spreadsheets Guide on <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/GDSupdates/browse_thread/thread/73e7bf331c5dbd20/">Google Groups</a>, a new feature has been added to <a href="http://docs.google.com">Google Docs</a>. You can now create a Google Calendar event from within a document. This feature is explained in further detail at the <a href="http://docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=72621&topic=8628">Google Docs & Spreadsheet Help Center</a>. </p>
<p>The goal is collaboration, according to Google.</p>
<blockquote>As you can imagine, this feature is great for those of us who enjoy Google Docs & Spreadsheets as a collaborative resource for collaborative events -- think of all the times a document becomes a meeting -- scheduling a get-together to review a proposal, sending an agenda in advance, or just keeping score for your Wednesday night backgammon club. </blockquote>
<p>Here's where you find the new feature:</p>
