Cool Features of Google Discover

The most striking feature of Google Discover is nullifying the need for a query. That’s right; you won’t need to use a term or a query to begin searching on Google. You can simply use the Discover feed and it’ll show you some top search terms that could be on your mind.

So, whenever you do search for something, it’s already up there on the Discover page.
Discover – Uncovering Google’s New Face

Unlike conventional Google web pages, Discover shall have new top headers. These headers easily explain your need to browse further. Discover also moderates your searched content to help you move on to the next query.
You can catch deep-dived content with Discover and skip all the intermediate blocks. You can use the ‘ Follow ’ the icon next to a topic and tap it. Discover will further improve your experience with an ever-growing range of relevant topics.
Only Fresh Results, No Last Season
Discover shall offer only evergreen content. Dated content that failed to garner high views gets filtered out on Discover. The best part of this feature is – you won’t be bored with a search engine like Google.
Most often, users complain that they keep getting same results over a search query on Google (unless they tweak the search parameters). So, with Discover, there won’t be any last season information bugging you.
The best way to experience this is travelling with your Android device. When you enter a city, Discover throws up all cool things you can do near your current location.
