Google has various ways to search spread across the Android system, but Circle to Search remains one of its most useful additions. It is very convenient to trigger and very easy to run a search result, but it is a little limited in that it can only see the content on your screen. If you ever wished you could automatically add more context to a Circle to Search query, Google has heard your prayers. Changes rolling out to Circle to Search now allow users to add more context in the form of URLs and PDFs, extending beyond your visible screen content, for searching through Google Search’s AI Mode.
Circle to Search on Android already lets users attach a screenshot of their screen content to generate suggestions and search results when using the “Search using your whole screen” option. The results are processed in Google Search’s AI Mode directly for this.
