In the above example, search results are initially displayed based on the selected product. But when the term \u201cgreen\u201d<\/strong> is added to the search, the results become more specific and relevant. This is how the new \u201cmultisearch\u201d<\/strong> option will enhance product discovery for users.
This feature is powered by Google\u2019s evolving AI and machine learning tools. Here\u2019s what Google said with regards to this,
\u201cWith multisearch, you can ask a question about an object in front of you or refine your search by color, brand, or a visual attribute.\u201d<\/em>
It should be noted that more than one billion people use Google to shop every day, making it an ideal platform for eCommerce<\/a> discovery. And this new option to add multiple search parameters can help users discover what they are looking for with extreme ease.
This feature is now available in the US as a beta feature within the Google app for English language searches.<\/p>

2. Twitter Starts Testing Its New \u201cUnmention\u201d Option<\/h3>

Every month, there\u2019s something new happening around Twitter. The platform is continuously bringing new features and updates to improve the user experience and onboard new users.<\/p>

Twitter has been working on the \u201cunmention\u201d<\/strong> option for some time now and they have launched an initial live test of the feature. What this feature means is that a user will be able to remove themselves from a particular conversation if they do not want to be a part of it.<\/p>
