Google has added tools to the left-hand panel of its search results, letting users change location details. Google previously pinpointed a users’ location automatically, but the new tool lets users either change it completely or make it more specific, including by postcode.
Users need to click on ‘Change location’ to update the information. Google will then automatically run the search again with the new information. The change means the location information is now always visible, as opposed to automatically clearing it from the screen.The feature is being rolled out gradually globally over the coming weeks.
