Story outline

  • Users can now refine language usage with suggestions for improving sentence structure
  • Green checkmark will indicate grammatically correct sentences
  • Grammar check feature currently supports only english language
  • Content with offensive or explicit language won't undergo grammar check
Google Search has taken another step to enhance its user experience by introducing a grammar check feature. This latest addition allows users to quickly determine the grammatical accuracy of their sentences and phrases directly within the search engine.

When typing in a query, users can now receive suggestions for corrections, making sure their content is well-structured and error-free.

The new feature, as discovered by 9to5Google, aims to assist users in refining their language usage.

For instance, if a user types "the quick brown fox jump over the lazy dog," Google will highlight the suggested correction, "jumps," for a more accurate sentence, reported The Verge.

While some may not prioritise grammar in their search queries, this tool serves as a versatile solution beyond simple web searches.

To use this feature, users can input a sentence along with terms like "grammar check" or "check grammar." If the sentence is grammatically correct, a green checkmark will appear under the ‘Grammar Check’ section, displayed as the primary result.

In cases where corrections are needed, Google will provide suitable alternatives and highlight the changes. This feature also addresses spelling errors, ensuring a comprehensive language review.

Despite its potential benefits, Google acknowledges that the grammar check feature may not achieve complete accuracy, especially for partial sentences. User feedback would be required to help improve this tool's performance over time.

The feature is currently available exclusively in English. Content containing dangerous, offensive, explicit, or prohibited language will not undergo grammar evaluation

According to The Verge, it's unclear when Google Search's grammar check feature initially became available, although its help page appears to have been up and running for at least a few weeks.

Meanwhile, Google’s recent updates include features that empower users to manage their privacy and personal information effectively. The search giant has taken measures to enhance user safety by automatically blurring explicit imagery in search results.
