Google Shows Step-by-Step Instructions



I mentioned a few months ago that Google now answers complicated questions. Depending on your query, you might see a long answer obtained from a web page.



Google's answers also include lists. Here are some examples from a Gmail support page and an Apple support page:






When searching for [gmail export contacts], Google now lists the steps right on the search results page, so you don't have to click the search result and find the answer.



Here's a similar example for [icloud restore]. Notice how Google removes some of the text from the article to keep it brief.






The answers aren't limited to tech-related queries. You can also find [how to remove a popcorn ceiling], [how to install a toilet], [how to change a tire], [how to boil eggs] and more.
