【Watch Easy Does It Online】

Google wants to help you speed up your searches.

The Watch Easy Does It Onlinetech giant published a blog this week debuting new features for your Chrome address bar that should improve your search abilities. Everyone could likely use some more efficiency online. And while you can read the whole piece from Google, here are few of the new features the company dropped.

1. There is improved autocomplete

Google searches in Chrome should now anticipate the URL you actually want when you begin searching. As an example, Google noted that simple typing "flights" into the search bar will give you the option of autocompleting to Google Flights, even though the ultimate destination URL actuallybegins with "google.com/travel." That should be a helpful upgrade when you know whereyou want to end up, even if you don't know the actual URL.

2. Say goodbye to URL typos

We've all been there before. You try to type in something simple like, say, Mashable.com, but you end up typing "mashavel." Google said it has improved its autocorrect in URLs so detect these sorts of typos and automatically redirect you to the correct destination.

3. Chrome will help you get to the right website

Similar to its typo-fixing feature, Chrome should now be better at directing users to popular websites. Basically, if you start typing a site — even if you've never visited it before or if you spell the site incorrectly — Chrome should give you the option to go to the correct, popular website. No more accidentally ending up at some fake site that is almost the correct spelling of a popular website.

Google listed a few other new features in its blog, but rest assured, users' Chrome experience searching should be improved from here on out.
