Google has launched a new Grammar Search tool to help improve comprehension, here’s how it works

Recently, Google added a potent function to its search platform to take over the market currently dominated by Grammarly and similar tools. This addon is a grammar checker that examines how phrases and sentences are put together and offers users useful ideas if something seems off.

Although the application is only now offered in English, it promises to be a useful tool for those looking to advance their writing abilities. Users only need to type words like ‘grammar check,’ ‘check grammar,’ or ‘grammar checker’ to activate this grammar-checking application. 

Notably, Search may nevertheless provide grammatical recommendations based on the provided query even if these particular phrases are not included.  

How does this tool work? 

When using the grammar check tool, the ‘Grammar Check’ section will show a reassuring green checkmark as the first result if the sentence or phrase is clear of errors. In case of any 
grammatical errors, Google would further automatically rewrite the sentence and highlight the changes made. Additionally, the tool fixes any spelling errors it discovers in the text.  

It’s important to keep in mind that the grammatical check may not be entirely accurate, particularly when using partial phrases, as Google has noted. 

Users can click the ‘Feedback’ button in the bottom-right corner to offer comments or report any problems with the tool. They can submit comments or ideas in addition to selecting from alternatives like ‘this is helpful, this isn't relevant, suggestion is incorrect, or suggestion is offensive. 

To note, similar spelling and grammatical checks have already been offered on Gmail and Google Docs, but this most recent version within Google Search stands out for its prominence and accessibility.

Google puts restrictions in grammar checker 

Google has imposed several limitations on the usage of the grammar checker. .Recent information from the company stated that it won't search for content that might contradict either the general principles for Google Search or the rules for individual Search features. This includes offensive language, graphic medical information, and obscenity. 

At the I/O 2023 conference earlier this year, Google displayed its strength and demonstrated to everyone that AI is a top priority for the company and that all of its features and products will include a significant amount of AI that anybody can use.
