Google guesstimates release dates for movies and games

You can already do plenty of calculations and conversions right in Google’s search box, and it looks like the company’s now made it even smarter still. Searching for the title of an upcoming movie or video game plus “release date” will now instantly give you Google’s best guess for when the title will actually be released, which is apparently based on how often it’s been mentioned on certain websites. So far, we’ve only been able to get it to work with movies and games, although it seems pretty likely that it will soon expand to other areas as well — maybe even gadgets? Try it out yourself and let us know if you find anything. [Thanks, Mario] Google guesstimates release dates for movies and games originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 18 Mar 2011 15:11:00 EDT.
