New Personal Tab in Google Search displays user-specific results

It’s good to see that Google is constantly adding new features to Search Result. That Google still manages to evolve Search given its manifold interests in the field of technology, is a positive sign of a company that has not forgotten its roots.

Many Google users across the world have noticed a new ‘Personal’ tab on the Google Search page, both on desktop and mobile. Search now showcases an added tab marked as ‘Personal’, which displays user-specific results from Gmail and Photos. With the ‘Personal’ search tab, Google is aiming at presenting a customized set of information matching the search keywords to its users. For instance, If you search for the word ‘Delhi’ on Google, your personal tab will display results from Gmail about your recent conversations featuring the keyword. It will also pull up any previous images you clicked in Delhi from your Google Photos account.

The new feature was first spotted by Search Engine Roundtable, and it seems like Google is rolling it out to users in a phased manner. We at Digit.in tried to find the ‘Personal’ tab on the desktop version of Search, but could not spot the same. The feature usually appears in a drop down menu on clicking the ‘More’ tab. Here's the Personal tab on desktop as spotted by The Verge.
