Change is often a question of detail on the Google Search homepage. This time, it comes in the form of a simple icon leading users to an advanced image search. Indeed, it brings Google Lens to the search engine's homepage, making its image recognition technology accessible to all.

This summer, Lens appeared on the web via Google Images, offering users the possibility to search from an image or a part of it. Today, Lens is coming directly to the homepage of Google's search engine, in the form of a camera icon to the right of the search bar. By clicking on it, you can search from any image, whether it's a personal upload, or a picture taken from the internet, by entering its URL. In addition to searching for information, it is also possible to extract text from the image and then translate it.
