Google is testing two new features in the Chrome browser aimed at improving the search tool within web pages, by increasing result accuracy and facilitating navigation between positions where words and phrases repeat, especially in long pages.
The tech site Android Authority reported on Saturday that the updates appeared in early experimental versions of the Chrome browser, and include an option to distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters, and navigation arrows that allow direct transition to search results located outside the visible part of the page.
The first feature, named "Match Case," allows users to specify whether they want search results to match the uppercase and lowercase letters they entered, unlike the current search tool which usually does not distinguish between them.
This option helps in more accurately accessing technical shortcuts, names, and brands whose meaning varies depending on the way letters are written, without the need for external extensions.
The second feature adds two new arrows for navigating between search results, allowing users to bypass results already displayed on the screen and move directly to the previous or next result located outside the display range.
This addition is expected to reduce the steps needed to reach different positions within long articles, research, and technical guides, rather than moving between closely spaced or visible results in the same part of the page.
Both features are still under testing in the Chrome Canary version, designed for testing new features, and Google has not yet announced an official date for making them available to all browser users.
These updates fall within improvements aimed at developing basic browsing tools and facilitating access to information within internet pages.
