Google announces redesign of Search engine with more pictures and extra context about results

Google has announced a new redesign of its search tools, making it more visual and adding in extra contextual information about its results. At its Search On event, the web giant also announced new features for Google Chrome and its Google Lens artificially-intelligent photo software. The main aesthetic change are visually browsable results, "for searches where you need inspiration" such as "pour painting ideas", Google says, which will surface a series of pictures at the top of search results without having to navigate to the Images tab. It will also bring in more contextual information, rolled out over the coming months, with a new'Things to know" section that includes "different dimensions people typically search for". For those searching how to paint with acrylics, for example, underneath the top result will be a series of drop-down results that include a step-by-step guide, tips, or style options.
