Google has launched a new tool called Circle to Search, and it’s not just for Samsung phones anymore. You can now try it on your computer if you’re using the latest beta versions of Chrome and ChromeOS.
However, there’s a little twist: it’s hidden under a different name. Google calls it “Search with Google Lens.” So, if you’re interested in giving it a try, look for this option in your Chrome settings.
How to Use Circle to Search on Your Computer
If you’re using the newest test beta version of Chrome on your computer or Chromebook, trying out Google’s new Circle to Search feature is easy. Here’s how you can do it:
- On a Windows computer, click on the three dots in Chrome’s top-right corner and select “Search with Google Lens.” Then, simply circle something on your screen, and you’ll get instant search results.
- On a Chromebook, you can use the Google Lens icon right in the address bar to do the same thing.
Google has explained this feature in detail in its latest update notes. According to Google:
“Google Lens in Chrome makes it easy to search anything you see on your screen. Search within a video you’re watching, a slide in a livestream, or an image on a webpage. Google Lens will give you answers right there, in your tab, and you can continue browsing with the new information you’ve found.”
Availability for Everyone
The new Circle to Search feature will be available to everyone using Chrome on their computer or Chromebook in the next few weeks. This is because the test versions of Chrome will soon be released as the official versions.
So, get ready to explore this exciting new tool that makes searching easier and faster right from your screen!
