Google released Tuesday, January 26 some tweaks to make Inbox's search feature more useful, Engadget reports.
For starters, when you look for something like a shipping tracking number, frequent flyer number, hotel reservation, bill or a number of other pieces of info that are buried somewhere in your email account, Inbox will surface it at the top of your search results.
It pops that info up in a card that looks quite similar to the information Inbox intelligently surfaces from your emails. The thinking goes that email users search their messages for specific info like this pretty frequently, so anything Google can do to surface that data quicker is a win. Along with the most pertinent bit of data that you're searching for, Inbox will also feature a quick link directly to the email you're looking for if you need to see it in its full context.
Below those quick results, Inbox will show a section of "top results," with and the full chronological search results will be displayed below that. The Inbox team is confident that between the new "quick answers" and top search results, you won't need to dig into the full search details very often, though there's no word on exactly how it decides what emails to show in your top results.
