Get Ready for 'Buy' Buttons in Google Search Results Google might become Amazon's next biggest rival, according to a report.

You want it. You search for it. You buy it.

Simple, right? Everyone's default search engine, Google, wants to make the process at least one step faster. In the coming weeks, the tech giant will be launching "buy" buttons on its search-results pages, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

The buttons will appear only within sponsored results toward the top of the page and be available first to mobile users, the Journal said.
