Arc Search — Find it, Faster 17+

• Multi-Language Support for Call Arc: Thanks to Nathan, voice-activated search now works in any language supported by Siri. Just open Arc Search, lift your phone to your ear, and speak your query in any of the supported languages to get instant results. Note: transcription only works in the language you’ve selected in iOS settings.
• Reduced Accidental Call Arc Activation: Nathan also has improved gesture control to minimize unintentional activation of Call Arc, ensuring the feature is only triggered when lifting your phone to your ear.
• Custom Search Engine: You can now add custom search engines to Arc Search. Just click the tab switcher in the bottom left corner, then the gear icon, and navigate to “Search Engine” in Site Settings. From there, thanks to Adam’s handiwork, you can choose the search engine that’s best for you.
• Link Previews: Now, following an update from Adam, when you long press on any link, it reveals a website preview within the popup menu — allowing you to preview content at a glance.
• Handoff Across Devices: If you have a tab open in Arc Search, macOS now will suggest opening that URL in your default web browser via Mac’s Handoff feature. Shoutout to Nathan for ensuring this smooth transition between devices.
• Numeric File Downloads: Thanks to Julia, Arc Search now automatically appends sequential numbers to filenames — eliminating the risk of overwriting existing files, and keeping you organized.
• Picture-in-Picture for Videos: While exiting Arc Search previously resulted in videos stopping, now when you exit Arc Search, the video will continue playing on screen. Thank you Nathan for helping us watch our favorite videos while multitasking.
• Site Link-Sharing Action: Following some great work from Nathan, you can now open links directly in Arc Search, or perform a Browse for Me search using text. Simply select the Arc Search action after clicking a link, or highlighting text, and let Arc Search do its thing!
• Fixed Apple Wallet Pass Links: Adam resolved an issue with Apple Wallet pass links containing multiple passes — such as boarding passes or event tickets — ensuring they now open correctly and display all included passes.
• Precise Page Refresh: Pull-to-refresh now waits until you release the drag gesture before initiating the refresh. Thanks to Julia, this should prevent accidental page refreshes, and allow you to cancel by dragging back up before releasing.
• Arc Search Tab Bug Fix: Thanks to Adam, we fixed a bug that could cause Arc Search to repeatedly open new tabs after opening links with an arc:// URL formats.
• Ad Blocker Link Issue Resolution: Adam also addressed an issue where ad blockers could sometimes render certain links un-clickable, such as “Visit” links on Google Images.
