Google+ full integration with Google Search

It is finally here and it is, probably, awesome. Your Google+ can now be accessed from Google Search. Basically this means that anything you could search for from within Google+ can now be seen in your normal searches. This includes pictures, posts and profiles. Additionally, and also maybe the most interesting, items that you have shared or were shared with you privately (within a circle) are also visible in results. So, if you were having a private conversation (with posts, vids and pics) on Google+ and later couldn't remember or just wanted to reminisce, then you could just search for that conversation and will, instantly, be able to catch up on the whole thing.

I think this is great. It cuts another step out of getting to Google+ when I want to know about something, from a social perspective. It is convenient, as it can display my private social results along with the public web results of the wide internet.

It doesn't look like it is active on my search yet. Hopefully, this rolls out quickly.
