Google has exciting news for Chrome users – new improvements to search suggestions are being introduced, the company announced today. These changes aim to provide more helpful suggestions, even with a poor connection, and expand the availability of search suggestions, using them to inspire users.
Search suggestions are the list of suggested completions that appear when typing out a search query on Google. This feature generates predictions to simplify the search process and save time. With the latest updates, Google is taking search suggestions to the next level and utilizing them as a source of inspiration.
When signed into Chrome on desktop, opening a new tab will now show users suggestions related to their previous searches, based on what others are searching for. For example, if you recently searched for “Japchae,” you may see suggestions for other popular Korean dishes, such as tteok-bokki, bulgogi, and bibimbap.
In the past, Chrome only displayed images for search suggestions in the address bar if they matched the exact product query. For instance, typing “Isanti dining table” would show an image of one. However, Google recognizes that sometimes users may not know exactly what they are searching for, which is why they will now display helpful images for broader shopping categories and products based on simpler searches.
For instance, if you type “bohemian table,” Google will show images of a bohemian table, bohemian tablecloth, bohemian table runner, and bohemian table lamp. This way, users can still browse for products they are interested in, even if they do not know the exact item they want. These updates for suggested searches will roll out on both Android and iOS devices.
Furthermore, Google is excited to announce that Chrome users on Android and iOS will now be able to view search suggestions even with a poor network connection, thanks to improved on-device capabilities. This means that users will receive more helpful suggestions even when browsing in Incognito Mode.
The goal of these improvements is to enhance the overall search experience for Chrome users and make it more enjoyable and efficient. So, whether you are in need of a little inspiration or facing a poor network connection, Chrome has you covered with these latest updates.
