Google is now showing personal search results and Google+ promotions to Gmail users

Following January?s?Search Plus Your World launch,?which brought social results into Google Search,?G+ Update reports?that Google is now bringing that update to logged in Gmail users as well.

Most importantly, this move continues Google?s initiative to bake Google+ into all of its products. Now that Gmail users appear to be directly encouraged to ?upgrade to Google+? and are shown personal results, there?s no doubt that Google+ posts and +1?s will soon receive much more attention.

We found this change in our own testing, when comparing the search results between a logged-in?gmail user that hasn?t signed up for Google+ with a completely logged out user. From what we can see, this isn?t happening to Google Apps users yet.

Think whatever you like about Google+, but there?s no doubt that the search giant has direct access to a wildly high percentage of global Internet users thanks to it?s extreme dominance in areas like search, video, advertising and mobile. No matter its current popularity, there?s a lot of power behind it and that means something.

We have reached out to Google for a comment and have yet to hear back.
