Google Chrome introduces new search shortcuts in its address bar. These site search shortcuts include @history, @bookmarks, and @tabs. The latest upgrade in the web browser lets you search your desired content directly for the correct URL, bookmark, or tab using the address bar.
Google Chrome rolls out the new feature to its desktop version 108. It enables you to enter any of these new shortcuts and press the spacebar to jump to the relevant webpage. A blog post by Google enlightens the details about how the latest feature helps you get matching suggestions from your tabs when you type @tabs in the address bar.
Accordingly, you do not need to navigate between open tabs on your chrome browser. It indicates that the upgraded feature can help those who usually work with several open tabs on Chrome and want to search a particular tab quickly.
The @history is another shortcut which lets you locate your desired webpage directly from Chrome’s address bar. All you need to do is to type @history to find the page you want to visit. Although it is not uncommon to search by opening history in Google Chrome, you can save lots of time by accessing search history through its address bar.
The @bookmark is the third and last shortcut, which could come in handy in finding your desired bookmark. It redirects you to the relevant website you have bookmarked to visit at a later stage. The @bookmark will also let you search your bookmarks. Using the shortcut is quite simple. You can jump to your bookmarked website by typing @bookmark followed by the search term in the address bar of Google Chrome.
Google also hit the tech headlines when it tested its new search icon for its Android-based Photos app. The new search button of the app comes with Lens features, which allow you to check out photos and recognize faces.
The company could roll out the new generic feature making it a replacement for the Lens button so that you can grasp more information about a specific subject in an image. It will supposedly scan faces in a photo and search for related pictures in the Photo Library.
Google’s Lens features, such as object identification and OCR text selection, are also primary components of the latest upgrade in the app. The company has decided to roll out the new feature to selected users in the first phase and is expecting to make it more widely available in the coming months.
Google released the Lens as a dedicated app in 2017 and turned it into an integrated service after some time. Android Police’s report says the new Search button in Google Photos scans faces in photos and performs a reverse search for them in its Library.
According to the report, the search function will have other exciting features, including object identification and OCR text selection. It will enable you to tap other items in the image to obtain further detail on them.
