Google search can work even without internet connection

New Delhi:  Google said that it has added a new feature in the Google app which will allow users to "search" for something even when the smartphone has no iinternet connection.

There is a catch though! The fact is that in the absence of internet connectivity, the Google app will queue up the search query and complete the 'search' when the internet connectivity gets restored on the phone..

"Mobile networks can sometimes be inconsistent or spotty, which means that even if you have a connection when you start your search, it might fail before you get your results back," Google's Shekhar Sharad wrote on the company blog.

"With this change, search results are saved as soon as they are retrieved, even if you lose connection afterwards or go into airplane mode. So the next time you lose service, feel free to queue up your searches, put your phone away and carry on with your day. The Google app will work behind-the-scenes to detect when a connection is available again and deliver your search results once completed," he said.

The updation is currently available only on Google Search app for Android, and to get the feature, one would need to update the app on the phone from the Play Store.
