It’s becoming more and more evident How happy Google is with the Circle to Search feature, and that they therefore decided to expand it as much as possible. Just yesterday we told you in this sense that Google already has a method and an application ready to bring this tool to the iPhone, although in its initial version it depends on Action button, so it will only be available to those with an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max. And of course, it’s also expanding its reach within the Android ecosystem, including an upcoming arrival on the Pixel Tablet.

Except, also aims to grow in features As we told you in recent months, evidence has been found that will allow us to use Circle to Search to translate texts and share what we capture with this tool. Personally, I’ve started calling it the Search Circle, the Translation Circle, and the Sharing Circle. And as I remembered yesterday, all this in an instrument that has not yet passed its first six months of life.

It’s true, yes, actually a lot of the Circle to Search features aren’t that big of a deal since they’ve been around in Google Lens for quite some time. The interesting thing is that after integration into the operating system itself provides the user with a much faster, direct and convenient access to image-based search. In my case, I can say that I’ve been using this feature since it arrived in the Pixel 8 family and I’ve gotten used to it enough that it would have a significant impact on me if I had to go without it.

With increasing scope and features, these seem to be the company’s guidelines, so today we’re facing another step in that direction. As we read on 9to5Google, Google is testing how to bring Circle to Search to Google Chrome. Now it looks like its debut isn’t close yet, as it’s not even available to all Chrome Canary users, which tells us they’ve opted for a slow rollout, at least for now.

With this feature activated, a new control will be added to the address and toolbar of the browser, and clicking on it will activate the selection function with the mouse pointer, which will allow us to draw a box (yes, maybe In this case we are talking about Square to Search, although in fact Circle to Search also allows us to draw all types of shapes, not just circles), with which we select what we want to search for. As soon as we finish the selection and subsequently release the mouse button, The Google Lens sidebar will automatically openwhich will display the search results.
