Google Search, a versatile tool encompassing diverse functionalities such as a dictionary, metronome, and multi-sided die, has recently introduced a new feature enabling users to assess grammar correctness on both mobile and desktop platforms.
This grammar-checking tool, as described by Google, scrutinizes the grammatical accuracy of phrases and sentences, providing suggestions for correction if necessary. Currently, this feature is exclusively available in the English language.
To activate this function, simply input a sentence or phrase into the Google Search bar accompanied by terms like “grammar check,” “check grammar,” or “grammar checker.” While appending these phrases is not obligatory, it ensures the seamless activation of the grammar-checking tool.
In instances where no grammatical issues are detected, the “Grammar Check” card, displayed as the primary result, will exhibit a reassuring green checkmark.
Alternatively, if the tool identifies any discrepancies, Google will not only amend the sentence but also underscore the alterations made. Moreover, this utility is equipped to rectify spelling errors. A simple mouse hover over the corrected version unveils a “Copy” button, facilitating easy integration.
Behind the scenes, the grammar-checking functionality relies on advanced AI systems for comprehensive language analysis. However, Google acknowledges that while this feature is highly proficient, it might not attain 100% accuracy, particularly with partial sentences. Consequently, users are advised to avoid assessing single phrases.
While grammar and spelling checks have been available on platforms like Gmail and Google Docs for several years, their integration into the Google Search interface is a prominent development.
Should any concerns regarding the suggested corrections arise, users can access the “Feedback” option situated in the bottom-right corner. This allows users to provide insights by categorizing the feedback as helpful, irrelevant, incorrect, or offensive, along with submitting accompanying comments or suggestions.
However, it’s important to note that the grammar check feature refrains from operation in cases where content may violate Google Search’s overarching policies or specific guidelines for search features. This encompasses content of a hazardous nature, medically oriented, or containing explicit language.
This newly introduced feature was accompanied by a comprehensive support document, released in the previous month. Its integration adds to the array of built-in utilities offered by Google Search, including a speed test, color picker, spinner, meditation guide, calculator, coin flipper, dice roller, and metronome.
