Google Search is one of the most popular search engines in the world. Today, in addition to standard functions, it provides users with the opportunity to improve their literacy. The search engine can now check spelling and suggest the correct option if it sees errors. Request analysis is performed using AI technologies, which are still being improved, so for now, you cannot count on the 100% accuracy of such an assistant. According to Colette Garcia, Google communications manager, the novelty appeared at the end of June. But users learned about its existence quite recently.

You can activate the new tool if you add the words “grammar check” at the end of the request. Also, the search engine can run a check on its own if it realizes that you have made mistakes. As a result, you will see that Google has rewritten your proposal, correcting the errors, and marked it with a green checkmark, indicating that this option is correct. The users can consider the corrections made or ignore them.

You can improve the quality of the AI corrector by regularly sending feedback about it. To achieve this, click on "Feedback" (located in the lower-right corner of the verification block) and select one of the proposed options. You can optionally leave a comment or provide a suggestion in the text box below. When everything is ready, you just need to click the "Send" button.

The main goal of introducing a new feature by Google is not only to help the users compose queries correctly, but also to increase their level of knowledge of the language by increasing vocabulary and introducing new rules and exceptions. This will be very useful for those who are studying a foreign language or just want to write without errors. The AI corrector is currently available only for the English language; others are in the plans of the developers.
