Exciting updates are coming to Google Lens in the desktop version of Chrome. According to insider reports, Google is working on a redesigned “Search an image using Google” option. This upgrade is expected to deliver a full-screen interface when you select the option, allowing for a more comfortable interaction with the image.
But that’s not all! Inspired by features already available on some Android smartphones, the next step seems to be the ability to specifically select an area within the image for your web search. This targeted search function would significantly improve the efficiency of finding information related to specific details within an image.
Expanded Functionality with Editing Tools and Multi-Search
The update may not stop there. Sources suggest Google might equip users with a suite of editing tools specifically designed for screenshots captured within the revamped Lens interface. This would allow for quick adjustments and annotations before initiating the image search.
Furthermore, reports hint at the possibility of integrating multi-search capabilities. This means you could combine an image captured through the screenshot tool with text to refine your search queries even further. Imagine searching for a specific fashion item pictured on a website, then adding text like “color: blue” to find similar products in that color.
Availability and Future Developments
While the release date for these new features in the stable version of Chrome remains unknown, the insider information suggests Google is actively developing this update, notes NIX Solutions. Stay tuned for further announcements, as these enhancements have the potential to revolutionize how you interact with images on the web through Chrome’s desktop Lens.
