Chrome on Android test shows alternative Google search results at the top of page

Google is testing showing search results at the top of Chrome pages on Android. This means that search results remain visible after users have left the results page. It is unknown when the feature will be available to all users.

Google has recently started testing this feature, 9To5Google also noted . A flag for the new feature has appeared in the most recent Google Chrome build for Android. The feature only works with Google’s search engine.

The feature displays alternative Google search results at the top of the page. The function adds an extra bar for this, directly below the address bar. In this bar, users will find a scrollable list of such results. This makes it easier for Chrome users to view different search results without having to navigate back to Google itself. The bar is hidden when users scroll down. If users click on a different link within a selected page, the bar disappears completely.

Android users can test the feature by navigating to chrome://flags, searching for ‘Continuous Search Navigation’, and then enabling this feature. We were able to test this feature in version 91.0.4472.120 of the mobile web browser. The Chrome feature is not yet available on other platforms.
