In December of last year, Google added the “subject filters” function to its desktop search results. Based on the user’s search query, this function offers pertinent subjects and groups the search results appropriately. For instance, if a user searches for “Pixel 7” on Google, the search results will show up alongside the conventional tabs like “shopping,” “pictures,” and “news” on the right side of the page under categories like “details” and “reviews.”
The technology behemoth recently made the ‘subject filters’ option available on Google Search for desktop users. Google claims that the subjects that are suggested are dynamic and alter as people engage with the search results. Users may now more precisely and conveniently search for the information they need thanks to this upgrade. Google has also included a brand-new drop-down option called “All filters” that lets users configure filters based on their preferences.
Given that it allows consumers more choice over their search experience, this change is a useful feature. Users had little influence over which tabs would appear after another in the past because the system produced them randomly. Nevertheless, based on the user’s search query, Google now offers pertinent phrases via the “subject filters” function. Eight categories made up the search tabs up to this point: pictures, maps, shopping, news, videos, flights, books, and finance. The ‘subject filters’ tool is presently only accessible to English speakers in the USA, but it is anticipated that it will soon be made available to users of other locales and languages. Recently, Google announced intentions to expand its search engine’s functionality for Indian users as well as the ability to conduct reverse image searches.
Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, recently revealed in an interview with The New York Times that the firm will soon release an update to Bard, its artificial intelligence (AI) bot.
Bard from Google was unveiled last month. The conversational chatbot is intended to compete with the widely used ChatGPT technology, which is supported by Microsoft. The release, however, was criticised by Google staff members as being “rushed” and “botched.”
Pichai responded to complaints about the device by saying, “We obviously have more competent versions. Bard will receive an upgrade to one of our more powerful PaLM versions, adding extra capabilities. He said the procedure will begin next week.
