Google has got some massive updates in recent times. Apart from the optimisation of the application, several new features have been added. In a recent update, Google has introduced four new options for its online search engine. These features will no doubt help users go into the depth of any topic and under the main context.
Also, more language options have been included in two existing features– “About this image” and “About this page”. Now, these options can be accessed in a total of 40 languages. Let's see what's new Google is offering:
More About This Page
When users submit their quarry in the Google search box, the result page shows a long list of websites. While some of them are widely popular, there can be a few, which are not quite familiar. In this case, users mostly hesitate to click on the link, considering it to be malicious.
To resolve this issue, Google has now come up with the “About this result” feature which is available in the three-dot menu next to a website. By tapping on this option, users will get to know more about a particular website before visiting it. Detailed information about any particular website will be available in 40 languages including Hindi, Bengali, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese.
Fact-Checking Option
Google has now come up with a new feature to help users double-check any fact. There is no shortage of rumours on the internet. But in the Google search engine, there is an option from where people can re-assess any claim.
“We make it easy to find fact checks published by independent, authoritative sources on the web. If a fact-check article is relevant to your query, you might see a preview for it appear in your search results,” Google wrote in its official statement.
Fact-Check Explorer For Deep Research
Another new feature of Google is a fact-check explorer which assists users in getting in-depth information about a topic or an image. They will need to paste the link of an image in the Fact Check Explorer and the results will be automatically generated.
About This Image
From Google Images results, users can go to the three-dot menu of any picture to use this feature. It helps people check the background and source of the image. The other important features of this tool are Image History, Online Usage and Details.
