According to a post on , the changes increase the amount of data that can be displayed in a "square" from 30 facts to 120. It also ranks facts based on relevance to the query and the quality of the information finds.

"Squared returns a 'square' (or table) of facts, sourced from across the Internet," wrote Noah Weiss, Associate Product Manager, and Randy Brown, Software Engineer, in the post.

"For example, if you search Squared for [], each row on the resulting table represents a particular United States President, and the columns include relevant facts about him, such as date of birth, a picture and a short description.

"At launch, your first square could include at most 30 facts. With today's update, squares display four times as much data - up to 120 facts. For example, instead of seeing only five presidents and three categories, now you'll see a table with 20 presidents and up to six attributes."

Google Squared was and is a project of Google Labs, the company's in-house technology incubator.
