Google’s search engine for datasets, the cunningly named Dataset Search, is now out of beta, with new tools to better filter searches and access to almost 25 million datasets.

Dataset Search launched in September 2018, with Google hoping to slowly unify the fragmented world of online, open-access data. Although many institutions like universities, governments, and labs publish data online, it’s often difficult to find using traditional search.

Google would not share any specific usage figures for the search engine, but it said “hundreds of thousands of users” have tried Dataset Search since its launch, and the reaction from the scientific community was overall positive.
Google says the corpus covered by the search engine — almost 25 million datasets — is only a “fraction of datasets on the web,” but a “significant” one all the same.
