In other developments, Google is said to be developing a new feature, allowing users to search the Web for video and audio clips. The company has yet to announce plans for the new service, but Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page made no secret of it during talks with investors and media executives, at an annual retreat hosted by investment bank Allen & Co. in Sun Valley, Idaho.

A Google spokeswoman said she couldn't confirm the plan. As it prepares for its highly anticipated $2.7 billion initial public stock sale this year, Google has been seeking to diversify and expand its offerings, amid heightened competition from the likes of Yahoo and Microsoft.

In other news, Travelzoo, an online travel marketplace launched a search tool that lets users query low-cost, discount travel and carrier sites, by entering specific travel-related information. Called "SuperSearch", the search engine carries performance-based travel listings from airlines and discount travel sites.

Unlike meta-search engines, SuperSearch does not return combined listings on a single page.
