Google recently announced two big features that they are adding to Google Search in 2024. These features are set to revolutionize the way people search for information.
AI-Powered Multisearch
- Multisearch, already popular in Google Lens, is now being powered by artificial intelligence.
- This means that search results will be enhanced by AI, providing more accurate and relevant information.
Circle to Search
- The bigger announcement is the introduction of Circle to Search.
- Instead of typing, speaking, or taking a picture to search for something, all you need to do is circle it on your phone.
- For example, if you’re watching a video and want to know what microphone is being used, simply circle the microphone on your screen and Google will search for relevant information.
- Google is starting to roll out this feature with premium Android phones like Samsung S24.
These new features could totally change the way people search for things, making it easier and more intuitive than ever before.
