Obviously, reading reviews on the Google Play Store helps you decide if an app is worth downloading. But finding the right review is not always easy. Right now, you can sort reviews by rating, date, or by preset topics like “performance” or “design.” However, you can’t search for your own keywords, and that can make things frustrating.

Now, it looks like Google is finally working to fix this. In the latest version (v48.7.17-31) of the Play Store app, new code spotted via Assemble Debug hints at a feature that will let users search through reviews.

The code mentions a “Search reviews” option and something called AllReviewsPage__enable_search_bar. These details suggest that Google is building a search bar for the reviews page.

This new tool could make reading reviews much easier. For example, if you want to know if a photo editing app works offline, you could type “offline” in the search bar. You would then see only reviews that mention that word. This would save a lot of time instead of scrolling through hundreds of unrelated comments.

We don’t know yet when Google will officially launch this feature, or even if it will appear soon. The search bar will likely show up near the top of the review section, close to the current filter options.

Google hasn’t made an announcement yet, but this shows that the company is trying to make app reviews more useful and easier to explore. We’ll have to wait and see when this handy feature becomes available. Stay tuned.
