Google Search has rolled out a new filter called "Perspectives" that allows users to find information from people on forums and social media sites. The filter includes long- and short-form videos, images, and written posts that people have shared on discussion boards, Q&A sites, and social media platforms. The UI for this on mobile uses cards shown side-by-side in a scrollable feed. Google is also working to make Search better at surfacing "hidden gems" and will roll out an update in the coming months that more deeply understands content created from a personal or expert point of view.
