This is similar to functionality available in Gmail today.  This beta will be available for all Google Workspace editions—eligible customers can use this form to express interest in the beta. See below for more information. Who's impacted Admins and end users Why you'd use it  When searching in Drive, users often use a few key words to try and locate the file they're looking for, such as "marketing plan" or "sales report," which may return results that are too broad.  Now, after a query is entered, users can use search chips to surface more relevant results based on: File type, such as a Google Doc, PDF, or image People Location, such as a shared drive or specific folder When the document was last modified File titles only Shared drive labels Tasks We hope search chips in Drive make it easier to find relevant files faster, eliminating the need to perform multiple searches or sort through irrelevant results. Getting started Admins: Use this form to express interest in the beta. We'll begin accepting domains into the program in the coming weeks. End users: If accepted into the beta, search chips will be available by default to users in the Google group(s) provided at sign-up. Simply enter a search query and select one or multiple chips to further drill down results. Availability Available to all Google Workspace customers, as well as G Suite Basic and Business customers Resources Beta Application Previous Posts: More easily add citations in Google Docs with new search and automated entry function Google Workspace Updates Weekly Recap - October 29, 2021 Improved and updated security menu in the Admin Console VirusTotal integration with the security investigation tool provides deeper insight into Gmail events Manage and share private iOS apps through Google Endpoint Management Note: We've recently changed how we send these emails.
