Google is adding a new tab called “Personal” that allows you to search through your personal data, whether from Gmail or your photos, directly from the search engine.
The new “Personal” tab displays your personal content, including your emails and photos you’ve taken and uploaded to the cloud. It’s simple to use. You first type in whatever it is you want to search for, say “flowers,” and go to the “Personal” tab, which you can find under the “More” tab at the end of the line. The results it will give you will be that it has been found in all emails you’ve received that contain that word, as well as any photos stored in your account that contain flowers.
The new tab is not visible to everyone yet, as it is not rolling out simultaneously to everyone. Just be careful about how you use it and whether you leave your computer alone and connected to your account, because anyone will be able to search for anything through your personal data, easily and through a single work environment.
The feature works on both the web and the mobile version of Google. It is hopefully understood that the results of the tab are completely personal to each user, not comparable between users, and generally no third party can see your results since they are not connected to your Google.
