Google Testing Vertical Search Labels In Autocomplete
Briefly

Google is exploring a new feature in its autocomplete suggestions that labels queries according to their content type, such as 'short videos' or 'images.' This labeling appears before a user types anything, and clicking on these suggestions will direct them straight to the corresponding section of the search results. Spotted by Radu Oncescu, this feature seems to be in active testing and may already be live for some users, potentially enhancing search efficiency and user experience on the platform.
Google is currently testing a feature in autocomplete that categorizes queries by their content type, such as 'short videos' or 'images.' This will guide users directly.
The autocomplete suggestions are not just random; they’re designed to lead users more effectively to the content type they seek, improving search efficiency.
Radu Oncescu's findings indicate that this feature may already be live for certain users, adding a new layer to how search results are navigated.
This implementation aims to enhance user experience by allowing users to jump directly to specific sections of the search results related to their query category.
