Due to the rapid development of technology, giant companies are rolling out new features to improve and simplify their users’ experience. US-based Google is among these companies. The giant company announced that it would bring a new feature to the artificial intelligence-supported image recognition service Lens at an event held in September of last year.
According to the news, there has been an important development regarding this feature, which is now described as ‘multiple search’. Google has started testing its new feature, which can provide great convenience to users, on Android and iOS users in the USA.
Visual and text search come together
First of all, let’s talk briefly about what Google Lens is. Lens, which is supported by artificial intelligence, offers image recognition service to users. The photos taken with this feature, which can be used from the My Google mobile application, can be identified; after that, it becomes possible to access information about the things in the images.
If we look at the multi-search feature, which is described as ‘a new way to search’, it is stated that this new service being tested will work when you can’t find the words to describe what you are looking for. According to the explanations, it will be possible to search for a photo taken with a multiple search from Google Lens or a photo that is already on your phone with text. In other words, thanks to this feature that combines visual and text search, things like asking questions about the object you want to search will become possible.
To give an example, let’s say you’re taking a photo of an outfit. Thanks to the multi-search feature, you will add this photo to the application, then you will add the photo to the ‘Add to search’ section at the top of the screen and search for something you are curious about. This can be any color, question or brand. As a result, Google Lens will show you the matching results.
To explain with another example; Suppose you have a plant but you do not know the type. ‘How to care’ with a photo of the plant. When you search for the question, Google Lens will both find the type of your plant and answer your question.
In addition, the company added that the multi-search feature added to Lens currently produces the best results in shopping searches, and used the following expressions: “This is possible with advances in artificial intelligence that make it easier to understand the world around you in more natural and intuitive ways. it becomes We continue to explore ways to further develop this feature.”
