Google has updated its Circle to Search feature so you can now select and search text from anywhere on your screen. Previously, this tool was limited to searching within certain apps or just images. With the new update, you are no longer restricted to specific areas or content types.

Now, when you activate Circle to Search, you can highlight any text visible on your display. This means you can search for information from messages, web pages, or even screenshots without switching apps or copying and pasting text manually.

This change is designed to make searching easier and more flexible. You can quickly look up definitions, translations, or related information by simply selecting the text you are interested in. The update aims to save time and reduce the steps needed to find answers while using your device.

Circle to Search continues to be available on supported Android devices. The rollout of this expanded text search capability is expected to reach more users soon, making it a more useful tool for everyday tasks.
