• Google is testing a feature that allows users to upload files via the Search bar and ask questions about the content.
• A paperclip icon in the Search bar enables users to attach locally stored files, turning Google Search into a document analysis tool.
• It’s unclear if the feature is just something Google is testing or of it’s a serious candidate for a wider rollout.
