Google is looking for a few good beta testers -- well, a million of them.

The search giant announced Wednesday it is beta-testing a new feature -- one that will show results from your Gmail when you search in Google; the results will appear in a separate box down the right-hand side.

The trial represents a massive increase in the amount of data Google is searching -- a doubling, in fact. "The total Gmail data is about the same size as our search corpus," says Google's Sagar Kamdar, Director of Product Management for 'Universal Search.'

And if your co-workers are looking over your shoulder and you don't want to display your Gmail search results? That's fine. Google has added a button above the test area, marked "hide personal results."
