During its I/O 2022 event, Google announced that its recently introduced multisearch feature will soon be expanded to include local search results, giving people the ability to find nearby product sellers. This is part of the search giant’s conscious efforts to give people a more natural way to express their needs.
“In the Google app, you can search using images and text at the same time — similar to how you point to something and ask a friend about it,” wrote Prabhakar Raghavan, a senior vice president at Google, when announcing the new feature. “Now we’re adding a way to find local information using multisearch, so you can discover what you need from the millions of local businesses on Google.”
Google announced multisearch in April, calling it one of the most important changes to Search in years. As Raghavan illustrated at Google I/O, the feature lets you search for things you can’t easily describe in words, like an unknown part of a leaky faucet.
