Chrome on Android uses context to search within web pages

Arguably the biggest announcement to come out of Google I/O last week was the Now on Tap feature that lets you search within apps. Well, a new update for Chrome on Android dubbed "Tap to Search" looks like it could be pretty similar: it lets you search within a web page for information without leaving the page. The example Mountain View gives is say you're on The Hollywood Reporter and you do a search for "America." Instead of stuff about the country, it populates a bunch of information about the flick Captain America: Civil War including pictures, news and casting information. Pretty cool, right? It's in the process of rolling out right now with Asian language support coming soon and you can see it in action in the GIF after the break.
