Before we were able to search only the emails in Gmail account, now we can also search calendar, documents within Gmail to find related information.
"As part of field trial we opened in October, it became possible to instantly see your relevant emails, Google Drive files, Calendar events, and more when you search in Gmail. Those of you who participated in the field trial told us that you like the time-saving convenience of searching for all your stuff from one place, and over the coming week, we'll be rolling out this feature in English to all U.S. users. Now you can find what you're looking for faster right in Gmail."
This is similar to what CloudMagic has been doing for years, besides CloudMagic is a better tool searches multiple Gmail accounts, multiple Google App accounts, Twitter, Facebook accounts and more as well. I'm not sure whether Google will have those features for a while.

I was getting a lot of calls this morning trying to push one product after another. I found it was coming from Google+ Hangouts feature, which has a new feature making phone calls and video calls easier. To block unwanted calls do the following:
Go to "Accounts" --> and go to "Who can Hangout with you" --> Click "Customize" and Select the circles and change the option to "Send a request"
Initially, the setting is default to "Hangout with you", so we need change it to either "Hangout with you" or "Send request".
To change to either setting, just hover over the grey button at the end of the circles as shown.
Otherwise it seems any one can reach you. The guys were trying to sell Payday loan, auto insurance etc., even though I have this number in Donotcall.gov. Luckily, I have block feature in Google Voice, can block these calls but if you get more than 100 calls it will become cumbersome, the above settings can prevent us to block each caller.
Update: Also, do the same in the hangout apps you download for your PC or Mac.

Google Keep comes in handy sometimes, you can use it to write notes or add To-do lists. I sometimes save the links in Google Keep via the share feature in Android to read the articles later.
To download the Google Keep extension for Chrome click the link here.
Last month, Google Keep launched to help you quickly jot down ideas and keep track of things while on the go with your Android device or on the web. Today, with the launch of a new Chrome app, Google Keep is even easier to access on your computer using Chrome.
The Google Keep Chrome app launches in its own window, so you can create notes, cross out your to-do lists, and attach photos to tasks while you work on other things. And if you don’t have an internet connection, don’t fret: the Chrome app works offline because we all know that ideas (big and small) can be sparked at any time.
