Google separated out its search analytics by mechanism as well as by category. On those who used Google’s Lens app—there is a whole additional bevy of search data information. Google Lens uses your phone’s camera to run visual searches, and the app got some big upgrades this year, including multisearch and scene exploration.

With those features in tow, people used Lens to explore and identify the world around them. They searched for plants—inside and out—and pets.
