At the annual developer’s conference, Google announced several upgrades for its products and services. One of them was enhancing the news coverage of its News Console.
The Google News, “Full Coverage” feature was introduced last year. At the Google I/O, CEO Sundar Pichai announced that the same feature will now be available on Google Search as well. Additionally, the company is planning to index podcasts alongside the Google Search feature.
Sundar Pichai explained that the company is using artificial intelligence to identify different stories and collaborate them in one piece to provide users with a complete picture along with a timeline of events. The feature will soon come to Google Search as well.
The company also announced that it would begin indexing podcasts so the search engine can surface relevant episodes of a given program – on the basis of its content and not just the title. Moreover, the users would be able to listen to the podcasts right from the Google Search result pages and even save them for later listening.
However, the company did not reveal much information regarding the updates and whether it would add any analytics service for the podcasters to enhance their experience.
