However it seems that Google could be making your life even more convenient by displaying the results to your questions before you even ask for it. This was discovered in the Chrome browser app for Android in which the results to your queries are displayed in the search suggestion list.

For example if you were to ask for the weather in a city or country, instead of taking you directly to Google’s website, the answers can be shown in the search suggestions. This saves users a step which might also come in handy as it would load a lot faster than a complete website, thus saving users time as well if all they need is a quick answer.

However it should be pointed out that this is a feature that has not been enabled by default, so if you’re interested in taking it for a spin, you will have to enable it manually by going to “chrome://flags” in a new tab, find the “Answers in Suggest” flag, tap on the drop down box, and then enable it.

We should also note that this feature seems to be an experimental one so there could be some bugs or unexpected results from using it, but if you’re curious to see how this could potentially help you out, why not take it for a spin?
