Chrome_For_Android_Answers_In_Suggest_Experiment_01

By now you have noticed that whenever you start typing a query in Google, auto-suggestions appear below. If you're using the Chrome app on Android (and you should be), you will also get answers in this auto-suggestion area meaning that you don't even need to complete the search. You will have to enable a flag within your app since it's not set by default, but trust me, it's easy.

Open a new tab and go to chrome://flags
Find the ‘Answers in Suggest’ flag (quick tip: hit the three dot menu, select “Find in Page,” and type “answers” to find it quicker.
Tap on the drop down box
Set it to ‘Enabled’
Relaunch the browser when prompted (at the bottom)

Now try asking a question. I find it hit and miss. For example, it works great with the weather, but didn't work so well with game scores. Remember it's an experiment, so it's not a final product and could contain bugs.

Robert Nazarian Author

Robert lives in upstate New York where he was born and raised. Technology was always his passion. His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.
