This is very useful feature if you have a chat with someone and you have to search for something. Going on another window and opening Google might be time taken.

  • If you’re reading a message, you can start a reply to the message with the search result as the first thing in your reply.
  • If you’re writing a message, you can paste the result, or just the URL into your message.
  • If you’re chatting with someone, you can send the result via chat.
  • You can also always compose a new message to send the search result.

    @Nihar Very nice question Nihar, Google is a very user conscious as we already saw that failure of Gmail becomes the headline of all leading tech blogs. This is because no one expects mistake from Google. You are amazed to know that while accessing one search result Google assigned 100 of servers to perform the function. So whenever Google adds any feature in its lab,it definitely assigned lots of servers to perform a task so that loading time can never be effected.
