they are coming big changes in google mobile search. During their Search On events, they announced many new features for next year. Adding a series that wants to change our habits in Google search on mobile; Transitioning from the classic search by text, image or video to what they call a ‘Multi-search’.

Google dropped hints that it reinvented search last April, now we know some more details. This is what Google has prepared.

What will change in Google search?

Google’s goal is to move from a search that consists of typing a few words to a search that combines images, text, and predictions. Y great reference they have Google Lens, they explain that it is already used more than 8,000 million times every month. Google Lens now allows uploading an image, for example, to find related objects. This search will not only be image based, we will also be able to add text to complement it.

For example, we can upload a photo of a t-shirt or tie and then add the word ‘green’ so that not only does we search by photo, it also gives us more precise results. This combination of image and text, but also context, is what Google calls ‘multi-search’.. This option has been working in English for a while and will be available in more than 70 languages ​​starting next month.

An innovation that will come to English from the fall, proximity search. Google lets you find nearby places by uploading a photo and finding what it contains. For example, we may upload a photo of a particular croissant or pizza and Google will try to guess that it is a particular restaurant.

Speaking of Google Lens, we will see a significant improvement in its design when it comes to flipping images. As the company explains, with the use of AI, it will be possible to recreate the background of translated texts with Lens AR Translate. So, when we flip a live image to date with Google Lens, some bars appear in the background. By the end of 2022, Google Lens lets you translate images live and preserve the original background. It’s a change that may seem small, but requires enormous processing power and machine learning.

In general, Google search on mobile devices will become much more visual. With more images and card assets. Starting today, image search on iOS and English will include: shortcuts just below the search bar. Options such as taking screenshots, translating with the camera or solving equations.

Multilookup will offer new cards with a double column image and a much more visual appearance. Rather than focusing on presenting a collection of web pages, Google will directly present the information we are looking for, covering the entire width of the page. including videos. It’s time to gradually say goodbye to Google as a web search engine and maybe the definition of search engine fits better, it’s just simple.

Google will tailor the search to be able to ask questions to the search engine. answers will be returned to us as suggestions. So, typing information will be better categorized. For example, if we put “Best restaurant”, it would return “From Spain; tapas; for families or cheap” among many other possible options. Almost like a predictive keyboard, this kind of search progression will be available in the United States from the end of the year.

It will include navigation. search suggestions in the form of tags. For example, if we search for “restaurants in Spain”, concepts like “tapas”, “Michelin”, “Jamón” or “Paella” may appear. These suggestions will be followed by the Pictures or Maps tabs.

Multisearch will be a single tab where results from different formats will be combined in an infinite scrolling window. From cards to videos, Google will offer it via photos, websites or text. All formats mixed in one view. It will begin rolling out in English in the United States from the end of the year, and through 2023, this new way to find information on mobile will be available in Europe.
