To use the "Explore" feature in Google Docs to research topics, follow these steps:
Open a Google Docs document.
Click on the "Tools" tab in the top menu bar.
Select "Explore" from the dropdown menu. This will open a sidebar on the right-hand side of the document.
In the sidebar, you will see a search bar at the top. Enter the topic or keyword you want to research.
Google Docs will display search results related to your topic in the sidebar. These results can include web links, images, and related information.
Click on any search result to view the full content. If it's a web page, it will open in a new tab.
To insert text or images from the search results into your document, simply click on the desired result, and it will be added at the cursor's location.
If you want to add a citation or source information to your document, click on the "+ Cite" button beneath a search result.
You can also refine your search results by clicking on the filter button (three vertical dots) in the search bar. This allows you to specify the type of content you want to see, such as images, quotes, or articles.
To close the Explore sidebar, click the X icon at the top-right corner of the sidebar or click anywhere outside the sidebar.
The Explore feature in Google Docs allows you to quickly research and gather information without leaving your document, making it convenient for writing and creating content.
