Circle to Search can be used to search for a wide range of items, from a celebrity on Instagram to a vintage t-shirt on eBay. The tool also allows users to enter a prompt to get more tailored results or an AI summary. For example, if a user circles a plate of bolognese, they can ask Circle to Search to provide a vegan-alternative recipe. The tool does not save screenshots of what users search for, but users can view their search history in their Google settings.
