Google Stadia for Android launches a search engine through its new experimental function: this is how it is activated

One week after the arrival of Stadia to Android TV and the new Chromecast with Google TV We see how its Android application is updated to add a novelty that is surprising that it has not been around since the launch of this streaming game platform, more than a year ago: the search bar. Until now you had to scroll through the entire list of games to find a specific title.

The search bar arrived on the Stadia version a little over a month ago, and now it comes to Android through a experimental function that we will have to activate to enjoy your search engine.

As the description of this function indicates, a search bar will appear that will allow us filter by text on all Stadia game listings, such as deals, news, Stadia Pro games, all games, etc …

It will also allow you to sort the search by title, price, recently added or by age classification. Also, as Google also indicates, they are working to add advanced search functions in future updates.

At the moment in this version the search bar is experimental and very basic, so we will have to continue waiting for the Stadia search engine to arrive officially and in a stable way to all users and with more functions.
