Google Search rolling out a new Settings button, dark mode toggle, and background images

Internet search giant Google has reportedly started rolling out some new features for its users. According to a report by 9to5Google, Google is in the process of widely rolling out a new Settings button in Search on the web. Besides this, it is also said to be testing a new dark mode toggle. Lastly, Google has also been spotted testing customized backgrounds on mobile devices.

New Settings button:

Users should be able to find the new Settings button at the top of the page to the left side of the account switcher option. The report claims that the new Google Search Settings icon includes a total of seven options that allow you to perform customized web searches. These consist of – Search settings, Languages, Hide explicit results, Advanced search, Search history, Your data in Search, and Search help.

Note that the search options are not new. Previously, those using Google Search could see them on the search results page in the Tools option, right beneath the search bar.

Toggle for dark mode:

The report also adds that the company is rolling out dark mode toggles more widely. The company is said to be rolling out the dark mode icon on the left side of the screen, next to the Sign-in option.

Customized backgrounds on mobile devices:

The feature marked its debut on limited devices last year. It is now being reported that Google is following an account-based rollout of the feature on a wider scale this year.

Regardless, since the features are in testing, we can expect to see them on Google Search soon. Once they arrive, they are sure to redefine the Google Search experience in a way that will be easier for users than ever before.
