Google Search

Collect google.com results from the current Search tab — AI Overview, links, questions, and places. Optional source visits. Stays on this computer.

Google Search is a pre-built workflow in the side-panel Library. Play it on the current www.google.com Search results tab. It collects the blocks you turn on and can visit source pages. It does not type a keyword or open a constructed search URL.

How to run it

Open www.google.com, run a search so the tab is a results page (/search), then open Tab Automation and choose Google Search in Library. Play uses that tab.

Save and Play can ask for a Version 1 key in Settings. Graph automations do not.

The trained host is www.google.com with English headings. Other Google TLDs, the Google homepage, and Images are not this workflow. Request a regional variant from Contact.

What it collects

Turn each block on or off:

  • AI Overview — text and sources (Scrape Main AIO)
  • Organic Results — links on the page. Defaults to every result on the page. Limit results caps the count at 20.
  • People also ask — questions. Open each question expands answers and sources. Collect more questions uses Show more (up to 8 extras).
  • Related searches — People also search for, collected only. Visiting those URLs would open another Google search.
  • Nearby places

Continue to the next page paginates, up to 5 pages. Delay between pages is 1,000–30,000 ms (default 2,000). A run stores at most 120 items.

Visiting sources

Visit sources can open pages for AI Overview, organic results, People also ask, and nearby places, up to 20 visits. Visited pages can store title, URL, a 2,000-character visible-text excerpt, and optional HTML (capped). Organic visits default on; the others default off.

A corroborated captcha pauses the run. It does not solve the captcha. Solve it in the tab, then Resume.

History and download

Results and run history stay in chrome.storage.local on this computer. The sheet can Download JSON. Clear history removes recent-run counters for that workflow. Removing the card deletes the current scrape stored on it; shared history stays until you clear it.

Not this workflow

Does not compile into graph steps — that is Add Step. Does not click consent, cover every TLD, visit related-search URLs, or sync results to the cloud. It is not listed on the Version 1 price card as a paid lock.

Tab Automation is not on the Chrome Web Store yet. See how an automation is built, then come back when a listing exists.
