For
many people, Google Search is the only way to search the web for
relevant information about all sorts of topics, and the company has
constantly improved it to offer more accurate and better tailored
answers. In fact, the company just announced a terrific new feature that
makes Google Now even more useful than before. And very freaky.
According to Android Police, Google
announced at an event in Paris a Location Aware Search feature that can
answer a new set of questions, without the user having to ask questions
that should include addresses or proper place names.
Asking
Google Now questions like “what is this museum?” or “when was this
building built?” in proximity of the Louvre in Paris will get you
answers about the Louvre, as Google will be able to use your location
and understand what you meant by “this” or “this building”.
The
feature might not always work, and it’ll be a while until Google can
answer more complex questions, but it looks like Google’s Location Aware
Search feature is already available to users in the U.S. and other
countries — according to this Reddit thread.
Here are some of the new questions Google Search and Google Now can answer:
- What is this museum?
- When does this restaurant open?
- How tall is this? (when standing next to a tower)
- When was this built? (for monuments)
- What’s the name of this church?
- What’s the phone number for this pharmacy?
