Google does job search
I'm not
sure how new this is, but it's new to me so I'm hoping it's not old news to everyone else: You can now search for jobs
using Google. Typing "jobs" into Google makes a
"Refine your search for jobs" box appear, and entering your location and/or desired "job function"
takes you to job listings scraped from CareerBuilder, Dice.com, and so on. Job listings are displayed in a manner
similar to Google Local, with listings on the left and a map on the right showing their locations. This is a shot
directly across the bow of jobs meta-search engine Indeed, but apart from the maps
it's still fairly bare-bones and lacks some of Indeed's more advanced options. However, coming up as the first hit for
"jobs" in Google is worth its weight bits in gold, and I'm guessing Monster.com and
CareerBuilder are less than thrilled to be displaced.

I believe this to be part of Google Base being integrated into Google Search. Do a search for "Housing" and you'll get the same. There are also links to "Post your own item" and "My items"
Also the URL of the page it brings you to when you narrow it down is google.com/base/...

I can't replicate this for "jobs" or "housing." I just get plain search results.
