Google has announced that its multi-search tool, which allows both image and text searches, will be expanded to more than 70 languages in the next few months.
Multisearch is designed to make it easier to find things that are difficult to describe using only text. For example, when a user sees a jacket they like and wants to find it in a different color. With multi-search, you can open Google Lens in the Google apps for Android or iOS, take a photo of the jacket, type in the color you want, and search.
Multisearch was originally launched in April as a US-only beta. It is currently available worldwide in English. Now Google intends to significantly expand the list of supported languages.

Google also announced the expansion of multi-search functionality. The new “multi-search near me” feature will allow you to find things locally. For example, the user will be able to search for a specific dish in nearby restaurants. This feature will arrive in the US this fall.
In addition, Google is improving other search features. For example, the Google app for iOS is starting to display shortcuts below the search bar to call up additional features, such as translating text using the camera or recognizing a song. The Android app will have these features “soon”. At the same time, it is planned to add tools for a more detailed study of the topic. When you enter a search term, Google will suggest keywords and topic options that you can click on to refine your query. This feature will launch in English in the US for mobile devices in the coming months.
Finally, more descriptive results will appear in the search results. For example, when searching for information about a city, information about the weather forecast and videos shot in that city may appear. This innovation will also appear in the coming months on mobile devices in the US in English.
