Google is experimenting with a new search app for Windows users that bears resemblance to Spotlight, as suggested by recent revelations. Learn about its potential functions here.
Google has unveiled a new dedicated search app for Windows 10, designed to streamline the search process and improve user experience. The new app, available through Google's Search Labs, combines local file search, Google Drive, and web results into a single interface.
The app works by enabling visual searches directly from the screen, thanks to its integration with Google Lens. Users can translate text, identify objects, and solve math problems using the AI Mode in Google Lens. The app's functionality and features were described by Google in a statement.
Users have the flexibility to switch between various result types, such as images, videos, shopping, and AI responses. They can also customise shortcuts after installation, making the app more personalised.
The new app is designed to allow users to search without switching windows or interrupting their flow. One can open the search bar from anywhere on their PC by pressing Alt + Space shortcut. The floating search bar can be resized, moved around the desktop, and minimised for convenience.
The app offers both light and dark modes, catering to user preferences. It is currently available in English, but plans for expansion to other languages are in the coming months.
The app is only available to users at this time, with a small number of users in the United States being the first to experience it. Google is developing the app for Windows 10 and newer PCs. The installation process is similar to that of Chrome and requires a Google login.
Ashish Singh serves as the Chief Copy Editor at the platform, while Allison Dubinsky authored the referenced article about the new app. Users can enable or disable AI Mode through their profile settings, providing them with control over their search experience.
Google is committed to expanding the availability of the app to other operating systems in the future. This move is part of Google's ongoing efforts to enhance its services and provide users with a seamless and efficient search experience.
