Google Perspectives, a new social media search tool, may soon give you better results when you search online for answers to tough questions.
10 Google Search Tips That 99% Of People Don't Know
The new Perspectives tab in Search provides answers to queries based on user-generated content from sites like YouTube and Reddit. According to experts, the option can cut down on unnecessary search steps and give users a broader perspective.
“The new Perspectives tab will improve the search experience by surfacing the results that the vast majority of searchers are looking for on the search results page,” tech expert Joe Karasin told Lifewire in an email interview. “A more recent trend has seen users add ‘Reddit’ to the end of their search query or go directly to TikTok or YouTube and search for answers to their questions. This trend has been so persistent that many call TikTok a search engine, and YouTube has been classified as such for several years.”
The new Perspectives tab offers a filter that appears at the top of search results. When you tap the filter, you can see videos, images, and posts that people have posted on social media.
