No More Quick View in Google Search?



The latest Google Search update removed a very useful feature: quick view. The link was displayed next to PDF files and Microsoft Office files and allowed you to open them in the Google Drive Viewer.






If you don't want to download the file, you can click the green arrow and select "cached", but this shows a text-only version of the document that doesn't preserve formatting. Let's hope that it's just a bug and "quick view" will be added back.



Please note that the feature has nothing to do with the "quick view" for mobile phones.
