If you were to perform a search on your mobile device for a movie either using the Google Search app or Chrome for Android, you will get the results to links about the movie, some photos, and also some links to the cast of the movie. This has been the way Google has displayed movie results for a while now, but it looks like Google has introduced a new UI for movie-related searches.
The new search results are now displayed in a gallery that is similar to what you might expect from the Google Play Store or other apps, and as expected it looks like Google has given the search results a Material Design treatment which was what the company introduced to its apps with the Android 5.0 Lollipop update.
However interestingly enough as noted by the folks at Android Police, this search feature only works when the user enters the word “movies” in their search query. So for example if you were to type the name of an actor, actress, or director, the original knowledge graph would pop up, but if you were to add “movies” at the end of their names, you will get Google’s new UI.
We’re not sure why there is a difference, perhaps Google will apply it to all searches in the future, but for now if you want to access it, remember to type “movies” after the name. It’s a pretty cool update and for those looking for quick results for movies or their actors, this should do in a pinch.
