Google Adds a new tool of ‘Quick Flight Search’ To Its Powerful Search Engine


Google has just added yet another extremely useful tweak to its powerful search engine, this time making it considerably easier to hurriedly search flight information anytime. Now any user typing simple keywords like “flights from [a city] to [another city]” in the Google search engine will, in less than a second, a very concise and quickly display of a summarized version of all flight information, right on top of the results on the page.

All the analysts who have tested this new tool of Google have declared it to be extremely helpful and successful. It was officially announced, and perhaps released, by Google on Friday through its Inside Search blog. All the analysts claim that the result of almost all major cities comes instantly and this feature ‘works like a charm.’
For Example, if a user types in Google Search: “flight LA SF”, it will instantly display the lengthy list of all the flights going to and coming from either cities. Moreover, it will almost always include the name of Airlines and the duration of a non-stop flight as well. Moreover, if you type precisely, like “flights LA,” Google will give a brief list of every flight coming to LA from all airports worldwide, also additively including the name of airlines and flight durations. Users will also be able to search for the flights originating from one place, by typing “flights from [your destination],” and it will display all the flights flying from that destination. This feature has a language support of ten different languages, including English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Turkish and Catalan.

However, this new feature still has its down side as well, even though the feature works ‘like a charm’ if the destination does not has an airport with nonstop flight schedule, it might be helpless. For example, the analysts exemplify that if a user types “flights from Milwaukee to Tahiti,” the result will be nothing but ordinary routine list of travel sites. So it will be safe to assume that this feature is limited to the big cities and larger non-stop airports, and does not works that good on smaller towns with tiny airports.
Apart from this new feature, there are still innumerable tools and trick which Google’s users can use while searching, features that are very helpful and kind of even old now. Few of the most useful and helpful tools include quick conversions of currency, weights and measures.
