Google has announced that Android users
will now be able to search through their Google Drive documents
from Google Search app itself. As most users might already be aware,
the 'In Apps' tab in the Google Search app allows users to search for content
within the apps installed on their device. With latest update to Google Drive,
users will be able to see search results for their Google Drive documents from
this section of the app.
The search giant has added Firebase App
Indexing to Google Drive's Android app, which allows for the Drive files and
folders to show up as results when you search for them through Google Search
app. "Simply type your query and tap the "In Apps" tab to view
any Drive files relevant to your search. Select those files to open them in the
appropriate app," Google said in its release note.
Google says that the rollout for this
feature will be gradual and its visibility can potentially stretch out to
longer than three days (from Thursday) as well.
Earlier this month, the alpha release of
version 6.13 of the Google Search app (aka Google app) reportedly brought
Google Assistant to non-Pixel smartphones. The alpha release also brought along
the ability to add payment information to Google Assistant on Pixel
smartphones, improved offline search, and a Lite mode to the app.
