When searching for a restaurant, for example, some shortcut buttons will appear in the search results whilst you\u2019re typing. This includes the likes of \u2018Call,\u2019 \u2018Directions,\u2019 and \u2018Reviews\u2019 which could make it a whole lot easier to get the information you need.<\/p>\n<p>This feature has already been rolled out onto <a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/google-chrome-121-launches-with-fresh-ai-tools-and-security-updates\/\">Chrome for Android<\/a> and will be coming to iOS later this fall.<\/p>\n<p>The address bar, where the website is typed in, has been refreshed as well in line with the larger screen sizes of iPads and Android tablets. Now, when searching, the website should already be visible in the drop-down option.<\/p>\n<p>More shortcut suggestions have been added too which take into account the usual words you type in to reach a website you\u2019ve been on before. \u201cFor instance, maybe you usually type in \u201cschedules\u201d to see times for the City Metro because that word is a part of the site\u2019s description,\u201d writes Sexton.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks to this new feature, City Metro will now appear higher up in your search suggestions whenever you search \u201cschedules.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The trending search suggestions that are already available on Android will be coming to iOS shortly which will show trends under the address bar.<\/p>\n<p>And lastly, new sports cards have been added to Chrome\u2019s Discover Feed and are available on iOS and Android. This means you\u2019ll get automatic updates on how your favorite team is playing if you\u2019ve expressed an interest in them in the past.<\/p>\n<p>This can be customized in the Discover Feed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/google-chrome-end-third-party-cookies\/\">Chrome mobile app<\/a> by selecting the three-dot menu.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Featured Image: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/iphonedigital\/22864508824\">Via Flickr<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/google-chrome-search-features-mobile-updates-ios-android\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Google Chrome for mobile has had a revamp, with the team saying \u201clooking something up on mobile should be just as smooth as if<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":237295,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[152],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237294"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=237294"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237294\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/237295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=237294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=237294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=237294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
