Google is implementing a fairly radical change to its search results by implementing a Universal Search mode of operation that mixes in listings from its images, video, local, news, and book search engines.

The new feature was the brainchild of Marissa Mayer and to demonstrate we have her 3 favorite universal searches as well as a video presentation by Marissa below. The video is worth it just for some of the anecdotes but after 30 minutes you’ve seen all the good stuff.
Here are a few of her favorite searches that show off the power of universal search:

• steve jobs
• darth vader
• nosferatu
