Google "Simplifies" Search Data Results



Google is giving users access to data controls from directly within its most-used product: Search. Starting on November 1st, users be able to review and delete their recent Search activity, get quick access to relevant privacy controls in their Google Account, and be able to learn more about how Search works with their data. These options will be available from within Search on desktop and mobile, and in the Google app for iOS and Android in the coming weeks. Thousands of engineers and product specialists spend countless hours here at Google’s sprawling complex and its offices worldwide trying to solve search’s most complex problem: language.

Google is simplifying that process in a big way. Instead of hitting up your account, you’ll be able to see your history every time you search for something. Once you search for a term in Chrome, you’ll be able to manage your entire search history without leaving the browser or interrupting what you were doing. Google is rolling out this change in Chrome and other desktop and mobile browsers today, and will be pushing the change to the Google app on iOS and Android “in the moving weeks.” And Google also promises to expand the feature to Maps in 2019, as well as “many other Google products.”
