Tech giant Google is making its search services easier and effortless with its latest update which adds a carousel-style design in giving out search results. The design which was launched on Feb. 20 adds a tweak that will help in going through its search results less time consuming.
The update however is only available on the mobile platform and is offered only on the English version of the search engine. However, Google promised that it will soon integrate the new update to other platform as well as other languages.
The new search design features a carousel that groups relevant links whether it is a video, an article or a photo. After making the search, all the user needs to do is choose whatever link they are interested and then the carousel will organize the results together based on online source, according to Voice Chronicle.
Google give out an example that displays result if a user searches for Knicks. The new search design will give out contents from the Knicks 'official website and articles from Bleacher Report and ESPN.
Google product manager Ardan Arac wrote on the Google blog, "Now, if you search on Google on your mobile, you'll see the freshest, most relevant content from within a single website grouped together in one easy-to-scale place."
Arac added that many of its users find the revamped search engine very useful especially during Sunday night.
Arac also pointed out the upcoming Academy Awards ceremony. He said that the new search design will cover every tiny bit of news that around the Hollywood big event saying that the Google app will provide results from behind-the-scene moments up to acceptance speeches.
However, one tech analyst was quick to point out that despite Google's attempt to streamline the search process over the internet this is just one of the company's strategies in order to divert users into contents provided by advertisers rather than non-sponsored content.
This leaves a notion whether Google is providing relevant search results for users or just trying to market its advertisers, according to Tech Times.
