When using Chrome for desktop, Google Lens may soon find its way to the Google Search homepage. According to a source, a user discovered the Lens icon on google.com while using Chrome’s Incognito Mode. That essentially allows Chrome for desktop users to search for images directly from the Google Search homepage rather than via a specific webpage or search results.
This innovation should give users on all platforms, including macOS, a better-integrated picture search experience. When a user right-clicks on any photo in Google Chrome for desktop, the option to “Search image with Google Lens” appears.
According to a report by 9to5Google, when surfing in Incognito Mode on google.com (using Chrome for desktop), the Google Lens indicator was detected next to the microphone icon in the search field. Notably, the Google Lens logo is identical to the one found in the Android Search bar. When you hit the Lens button, a box appears on top of which says “Search any image with Google Lens.”
The window instructs users to “drag an image” or “upload a file” to search a picture using Google Lens. The information gets returned in the same way as when you right-click on any image on a webpage and choose “Search image with Google Lens.”
The searched image appears in the left column, while the results appear in the right column, including Knowledge Panels (if accessible) and visually matching photos.
The “Search image with Google Lens” feature was made available to all users with the Chrome 92 version last year. The Google Lens integration is currently available for general users on the Google Search widget for Android. Its availability on google.com on Chrome for desktop appears to be still in beta.
The integration of Google Lens on the Search homepage should provide a consistent experience across all platforms, including macOS.
