• Google Adds Lyrics to Its Search

    Google is once again looking to change the way we search. The Silicon Valley giant has just revealed its new lyric searching system that allows users to search for song lyrics, and the words will come up as a native Google result.

A link to the lyrics can also be found under an official YouTube link.One source told "Billboard" how Google was able to get this done, saying, "They're creating the database themselves. They've done direct licensing deals with the major publishers to enable the service, and they're doing it internally at the moment. The data isn't crowd-sourced; there's a team of people working to create the database."This is a huge blow to sites like AZLyrics and Metrolyrics, which have benefited tremendously from the status quo.
