Now you no need to leave Gmail to search Google for answers for the questions you receive over chat or email. Previously you have to leave Gmail to search Google for an answer, then you have to select answer, copy it, go back to Gmail and paste the answer into the chat window or reply message.

The new Google Search experiment in Gmail Labs, you can search right in Gmail and with just one click send answer over chat or by mail.

Enable Google Search feature in Gmail Labs.

Now you’ll see a new search box on the left side of your inbox as shown in the graphic below.

Type your search and hit enter. A window (like a chat window, but a bit bigger) appears at the bottom of your screen with the first few search results.

If you click on search result, it will open in a new window or tab. If it is the right result for you, just move your mouse over the result back in Gmail reveals a pull-down menu that lets you do stuff with the search result.

The menu items depends on what you’re doing in Gmail:

• If you’re reading a message, you can start a reply to the message with the search result as the first thing in your reply.
• If you’re writing a message, you can paste the result, or just the URL into your message.
• If you’re chatting with someone, you can send the result via chat.
• You can also always compose a new message to send the search result.

You can turn on Navbar drag and drop in Labs so they can move the web search box up to the top where it’s easy to get to, said Adam.
