Google is making it much easier to find orders, reservations, flights, and other information hidden inside your email.

It pops that info up in a card that looks quite similar to the information Inbox intelligently surfaces from your emails.
The annoying thing about trying to find a specific number or address within your email inbox is having to sift through whatever individual emails your search tool pulls up… sometimes to no avail. For users, that may take the place of the usual practice of digging through a list of search results, seeking one particular piece of information.
Rather than returning a list of subject headings, the e-mail client will return only the answers it thinks users are looking for. Below that will be all email results but Google says that top results will have what users are looking for most of the time. Below the “quick answers” that Google shows at the top of your Inbox search results, it will also post a “Top results” section that will give you emails in order of relevance.
Recently, Google Drive’s new updates were released to enhance user experience and refine searches. Of course, if you really want to dig deep you can still thumb through the full results yourself.

Google hasn’t said if this is all coming in an update to the app or via server-side switch.
