The company Google never stops trying new things. Whether it's new tools and applications that satisfy some desire or need of the user, or improvements in their already available tools to keep them active, updated, useful and attractive So it is not surprising that several users have begun to get a glimpse of a new feature in the Google Play app store A simple enhancement to have quick access to different collections of apps and games within this store.
Apparently, according to the media Android Police, several users have begun to discover special icons when searching for applications and games on through the search engine Google Play It is neither more nor less than direct access to some of the categories of this store, allowing you to quickly jump to those sections to find content stored there. A simple option to speed up searches, although it's not groundbreaking or really helpful if you know what you want to search for.
As discussed in this medium, just click on the renewed search bar, which was updated just a few weeks ago in what seemed to be just its appearance, to start typing the name of an app or game.If these letters match any category or Google understands that said content is related to that category, it is displayed directly as one of the search suggestions. As if it were one more option to look for.
Of course, this option stands out from the rest of the options thanks to a recognizable color icon in the purest Material Design style A round icon of green color with different symbols to represent the categoryory of Action games or Personalization applications section, for example example Questions that serve to clearly identify these shortcuts. With this, all that remains is to click on said option to quickly jump to the category with which they are related, without making movements through the menu of Google Play
This way, it is possible for the user to save a couple of steps, counting on a selection of shortcuts that rush to appear just by typing several letters of what you are looking for. Something that of course will not change the experience of using Google Play, but that can be appreciated to avoid excessive screen taps, or to perform manual searches on different categories.
At the moment there is no official confirmation from Google to know if this function is in phase of tests or is already being deployed in stages, as usual. What it does seem is that it could gradually reach more users without the need to update any application or the store itself Google Play And it seems that it would be a novelty introduced from the system servers.We will have to wait a little longer to see if Google is improving the searches of Google Play or see if it is just a search help.
