New Google Search Features
Google has recently released some new search tools – “Voice Search” (for Chrome) and “Search by Image”
Voice Search for Chrome
Voice Search allows you to simply search Google by speaking the search words into your microphone, instead of typing the words. This would be useful for students who find spelling difficult or have trouble using the keyboard.

Search by Image
Search by Image allows you to search Google by using images instead of words. You can upload images or use images already on the web, simply by dragging the image into the search field. Google uses computer vision techniques to match your image to other images in the Google Images index and additional image collections. From those matches, Google will try to generate an accurate “best guess” text description of your image, as well as find other images that have the same content as your search image
A useful tool to look for similar images or try to identify where the image was taken or related content.
