In the latest update of the Google Chrome Browser, if long press and select any word or any phrase, you can instantly get search results about the selected word or phrase. For example I am reading Tech-DeFrag's article on new features related to Android M and I found the word Google I/O. I want to know what is Google I/O. So to know more about the phrase, I'll long press the phrase and a blue google icon will appear at the bottom of the web page. So to know more, all you have to do is to drag the google icon up(i.e swipe up) and you'll get search results related to the word Google I/O(Look at the Images). Handy Right?

In this example we got more information regarding to the phrase "Google I/O". So let's check out some more examples. Suppose you were browsing through some random article and you see a film's name, say "Finding Neverland" . You want to know more about this movie. So all you've to do is to select the movie's name and the same Blue icon appears. Swipe up once to know basic info about this movie. Swipe Up again to know more information on this movie such as IMDb rating, cast etc. Look at these images for more info.
