In particular, Google was inspired by the way the internet is used by younger people, who prefer visual and more accessible content. Let's find out all the news.
What's New in Google Search
By the end of the year the Google search engine intends to give a higher priority to visual content, such as photos and videos, over the text link. Even if the latter will remain the main part of the service, the visualization of the contents will take place in different ways.
There Google search it will become similar to the feeds to which social networks have accustomed us, since the layout of the page is also destined to change. Visually, the results of Google search will be shown as a series of colored cards, interspersed with images and videos.
Further changes to the service will involve the suggestions that will be displayed and the shortcuts. In fact, Google intends to implement the algorithms that govern its AI, in order to guarantee more fitting results and direct shortcuts to e-commerce, when looking for a product to buy.
Finally, not even Google Maps will be immune from changes. Soon, it will in fact be possible to search the map of the big G through the Multisearch function. This will allow users to photograph something and get information by uploading it to the web. Further functions will then be available, such as Neighborhood Vibes, which will recommend places to see, clubs and more, starting from the uploaded photos.
The reasons for the change

In fact, a more immersive search engine will entice surfers to stay on the web, scrolling down the page to the bottom, something that cannot be taken for granted.
The ideal result, in reality, would be to encourage users to also consult the pages following the first one, at which most people often stop. Basically, Google takes inspiration from the formula used by social networks, with the idea of letting people pass the time.
