What does Google Search’s new Perspective Filter do?

Google Search’s new Perspectives filter brings a human angle to search results. As of now, the generic search results that users see on the platform are based on a variety of factors based on a variety of factors including dates, authors, ratings, and proximity among other things. In simple terms, the search results are decided by the company’s algorithm based on a host of factors. Now, the new Perspective feature changes that by bringing in opinions and recommendations from living and breathing human beings.

“In the coming weeks, when you search for something that might benefit from the experiences of others, you may see a Perspectives filter appear at the top of search results,” Google had written in the blog post at the time, adding that the company will show more ‘details about the creators of this content, such as their name, profile photo or information about the popularity of their content’.

“You can also access this content through a dedicated Perspectives section that may appear on the results page, which builds on our earlier work to bring more diverse voices to Search,” the company added.
