Google has made integrating your Google+ account with your every day Google search usage just a little easier. Beginning this month, your personal circles and interests will be mixed in with organic search results. If you have a Google+ account and are logged in, all you have to do to find someone in your circle is type their name into the Google search bar and their Google+ page will come up as a top result.

This new update is called “Search Plus Your World” and it will make your Google+ social media experience more involved than any other platform could provide. This will allow you to see information that is private to you as well as public to all and will allow you to bring up the best results that fit what you are personally looking for.

This access that Google is calling “Your Web” allows you to see items you’ve posted (pictures and updates) on your Google+ profile and in other Google accounts like Picassa Web in your search results.

While these personalized results will be integrated with public results, Google assures everyone that they will be clearly marked so that you can tell the difference. This will apply to both Web and Image searches, so you can view pictures that people in your Circles have shared. Each image and web result will clearly be marked as from you or from a person in your circles. This is also an optional feature and can be turned off if you are only interested in finding public results.

This new development also makes it more important than ever to make your images and posts SEO friendly as they will only come up if it matches your search query. Therefore, changing the file name of an image to match its description will be more beneficial than leaving the default randomly generated file name.
