Export all documents, email as an attachment and improved search in Google Docs

- Export All: You can now export all your Documents, Spreadsheets and Presentations at once directly from the Docs list.
- Email as an attachment: You can now email the document directly to people as an attachment from the Docs list.
- Improved search: Improved search functionality to show the most relevant documents when performing a search. Up to now this was based on 'Last modified date'. Also includes searching by automatic stemming and synonyms.

Editions included:
Standard, Premier, Education, Team and Partner Editions

Languages included:
All languages supported by Google Docs

How to access what's new:
- Export All: Select one or more files and then click on "Export" from the "More Actions" menu. Next, pick the format (e.g. PDF etc) you want for your exported files. Here you now also have the option to "Export all your files" up to 2GB into a single zip file. It can sometimes take a few minutes to download so you also have an "email when ready" option to notify you when the zip file is ready. If your files are larger than 2GB then Docs will present a list of those that weren't exported and you can export them to a zip file as normal.

- Email as an attachment: In the Docs list, select an item, click "Share" and select "Email as attachment...". Then pick which format you want to use to send the item, compose your email, and click send.

- Improved search: Search for a document from the Docs list as normal. In the displayed results, click on the new button "Relevance" which lets you decide whether you'd like to sort your Docs list by "Relevance," "Starred" or "Last Modified"

Note: We are temporarily removing the existing "email-in" feature to upload documents. This is in order to improve functionality and expand the supported file types. You can still upload multiple docs at once by using the multiple file upload option in the Docs list.
