Previously, Google’s Timeline View was only available to those that opted-in to an experiment with Google Labs, but it appears that several popular searches have been providing timelines in the run-of-the-mill search results.
Searches such as “Book of Revelation,” "Thomas Jefferson," “Albert Einstein” and even everyone’s favorite, “Maximum PC” have their very own timeline setups. The timeline results provide users with historical data about their query that is provided by Google’s News Archive.
According to Google, their News Archive “provides an easy way to search and explore historical archives. Users can search for events, people or ideas and see how they have been described over time. In addition to searching for the most relevant articles for their query, users can also see a historical overview of the results by browsing an automatically generated timeline.”
