Google Search Introduces AI-Powered Grammar Checker: Enhance Your Writing Instantly!

Google is now competing with Grammarly by introducing a new grammar checker feature in its Search function. This tool evaluates the structure of sentences and phrases, providing helpful suggestions when errors are detected. Simply enter terms like "grammar check," "check grammar," or "grammar checker" to activate this feature, though it may still offer grammar advice even if these phrases are not included in your query.

When the tool identifies an error, such as a spelling mistake, it automatically rewrites the sentence and highlights the changes. You can easily copy the corrected sentence by hovering over it. If your grammar is flawless, you'll receive a green checkmark, though no gold star will be awarded.

Powered by artificial intelligence, the tool offers helpful corrections, but accuracy may vary, especially when reviewing fragments instead of complete sentences. Users can provide feedback on suggestions to help improve the system.

Currently, the grammar checker is only available in English and will not function if the content violates Search policies. It avoids checking grammar for dangerous, harassing, medical, sexually explicit, or violent content, so you may need alternative resources for phrases containing profanity or vulgar language.

Google has long provided grammar tools in Gmail and Google Drive, so expanding this functionality to Search is a logical step. It eliminates the need to switch to Google Docs or consult old grammar guides.

However, many users tend to input keywords rather than complete sentences (e.g., "hard boiled egg how long"), which requires the AI to make educated guesses about whether grammar checking is desired. Balancing these functionalities is crucial to ensure users receive the information they seek efficiently.
