Searches being made easier with Google Drive's new filters rolling out for everyone
The Search chips feature, that's supposed to make searching for files in Google Drive easier, is now being made available to all Workspace users, including G Suite Basic and Business users.The feature was first launched in November 2021 as beta in Google Drive, which makes it easier for users to find relevant files faster and eliminates the need to perform multiple searches or sort through irrelevant results.
According to The Verge, it was first released as a beta in November and should let users narrow down their search results by location, file type, date modified, people, tasks, and shared label.Google rolled out search chips to Gmail in 2020.
Now after a query is entered, users can use search chips to surface more relevant results based on file type (such as a Google Doc, PDF, or image) , people, location (such as a shared drive or specific folder), when the document was last modified File titles only, shared labels and tasks.
Users can use search chips by entering a keyword in Drive's search bar as they normally would. Right below the search bar, they'll see six different dropdown menus for search chips: Location, File Type, People, Last Modified, Title only, and To do.
