Google for Android now lets you search without signal

Android

The Google app for Android now saves search queries when your data connect fails, returning results once a data signal is reestablished.

Google said the search results will “deliver as soon as a connection is available”.

“With this change, search results are saved as soon as they are retrieved, even if you lose connection afterwards or go into airplane mode. So the next time you lose service, feel free to queue up your searches, put your phone away, and carry on with your day,” said Google.

The company said the feature will not drain your battery and fetches “streamlined search results pages”.
