Google's "Social Search" experiment, that makes search more personal with relevant web content from friends and online contacts, has gone into public beta after limited trials last year.

In a blog post Google says "we were excited by the number of people who chose to try it out, and today Social Search is available to everyone in beta on google.com".

The video above explains the new functionality while you can find out more here.
