Google China Launches OneBox Movie Search
CCW, 4/28/08
Online search engine Google has launched OneBox functionality for movie searches in China, meaning that Internet users will be able to quickly search for local movie screening times and addresses for any screening within 3 days. OneBox search results are special results listed at the top (or sometimes the bottom) of a search page for queries that can be answered instantly or when a direct link can be provided.
Movie information, pictures and screening times will be provided by Mtime, one of Google's domestic Chinese partners. Testing of the new service revealed that the user-experience and accuracy of the results are still not ideal, and that the information provided by Mtime is quite limited.
It is reported that this month and next month, Google China will introduce a range of new products, including music search.
None of your personal information will be shared with third parties.
