Google Nose April Fools' Day Prank: Practical Joke Promises 'Sharpest Olfactory Experience Available'

Ever wish you could search Google by smell? Now you can.

APRIL FOOLS!

Introducing Google Nose by Google We're excited to announce our newest addition to Search: Google Nose. What do wet dogs smell like? Google Nose! How about victory? Google Nose! Try searching on Google for "wet dog" and explore other smells that people sniffed for, or visit google.com/nose to learn more. Happy smelling!

Google, as per tradition, is out with their latest April Fools' Day prank to celebrate the practical joke-based holiday.

Google Nose BETA, the company's new fictional product, promises "to offer the sharpest olfactory experience available."

A video introducing Google Nose (viewable above) explains that the feature allows users to "search for smells." Seems complicated, right? Well that's because it is (it's also fake). The product intersects "photons with infrasound waves" and "temporarily aligns molecules to emulate a particular scent." The "mobile aroma indexing program" at the heart of the product has amassed a "15 million centibyte database of smells from around the world."

But what about mobile? Well, Google has you covered. Their "Android Ambient Odor Detection" allows you to collect smells on your phone.

It all sounds so great. But your nose will have to wait, because this incredible technology only exists in a fictional universe. Check out Google's 2011 and 2012 April Fools' Day pranks here and here.
