To further simplify the search, Google is now experimenting with a more powerful search tool on Google Photos which will be support complex queries, as per a report by 9to5Google. Recently, some users have encountered a blue prompt on Google Photos web which says, “Try a more powerful search.”

The new search tool empowers a user to attach a qualifier to a place or object. Google explains how you can search for phrases like “Colourful Sunset” and “Peaceful Garden” etc. This feature can be equated with natural language queries that Google Assistant can answer.

In addition to this, if a user has tagged people in the photos, they can even search for photos by adding their names to the queries such as “Anand at India Gate.”

This new feature on Google Photos is currently available on the web version only and it is yet to be rolled out for Android.

A Google spokesperson told 9to5Google, “The company always experimenting with new ways to help people find and relive their photos and videos. This experiment allows people to search for more complex queries to help them find the photos and videos they’re looking for more easily.”

Meanwhile, Google Meet has recently received a major upgrade in terms of camera capabilities. Google Meet users will be able to enjoy resolutions up to 1080 pixels or full HD resolution during video calls. Previously this resolution was limited to 720p or HD resolution.
