MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) -- Google is giving Web surfers a few more ways to refine their search results, signaling its resolve to ward off Microsoft's aggressive campaign to lure traffic with Bing.

The changes announced Thursday probably won't even be noticed by most users because they require clicking on a "show options" link above Google's search results. The feature has been around since May, but now the company is adding more tools to it for slicing and dicing search results.

It already has been possible to focus the results exclusively on videos, discussion forums, reviews or books. Now news and blogs are joining the list of options.
