You can now search through reviews on the Google Play Store
Key Points:
- Google Play Store on Android has introduced a new search bar feature within the reviews section of apps and games, allowing users to quickly find specific keywords in user reviews.
- This feature aims to improve user experience by saving time when looking for information about app features or behavior without manually sifting through numerous reviews.
- The search bar has been in testing since November and is now rolling out with the Play Store update version 50.7.24-31, though the rollout may take days or weeks to reach all users.
- To use the search bar, users can access it via the ratings section or the magnifying glass icon under the AI-generated review summary, but the search requires at least two words and does not support real-time results or semantic search yet.
- Suggestions for popular queries appear under the search bar, but the current search only matches exact terms, indicating room for future improvements in search functionality.
