Hey I got to write this not really as a Google fanatic buh just to share the info and post an update on this site after like a long time.
I was just wanted to Search something on Google and I saw this Google update.
Google has once again taken a giant leap forward by introducing two groundbreaking updates and it may redefine the way we search.
The two new features is the "Circle to Search" and "AI-powered Multisearch". Both are set to make our search experiences more intuitive, seamless, and versatile than ever before.
Circle to Search: Searching Without Boundaries
Have you ever been engrossed in a text conversation, scrolling through social media, or watching a video, only to be disrupted by a burning curiosity about something on your screen? I think Google understands this dilemma and this has brought about the Circle to Search feature.
How This Works
Circle to Search allows users to search anything on their Android phone screen without switching apps.
Through a simple gesture - circling, highlighting, scribbling, or tapping - you can select images, text, or videos and instantly find relevant information.
This feature eliminates the need to switch between apps or browsers, providing a seamless search experience right within your current activity.
Who Can Use This Feature:
This is launched globally on selected premium Android smartphones starting January 31, Circle to Search debuts on the Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and the new Samsung Galaxy S24 series. 🤧 For now this cool stuff is for Galaxy S24 users and Lastest Google mobile users.

In 2022, Google had introduce Multisearch , and now Google is taking it to the next level with AI-powered insights.
While multisearch was initially focused on refining visual queries, the integration of generative AI now enables users to ask more complex or nuanced questions about what they see.
Imagine you come across an unfamiliar board game at a yard sale. You take a picture, ask, "How do you play this?" and the new multisearch experience provides an AI-powered overview with the most relevant information from across the web.
This can allow anyone to quickly understand what the game is called and how to play it, with additional links for deeper exploration.

AI-powered overviews on multisearch results have been launched in the U.S., accessible through the Lens camera icon in the Google app for Android or iOS.
Users like me outside the U.S. who opted into Search Generative Experience (SGE) can preview this only in the Google app. 🥲
