Google has added a new feature to its mobile search functions designed to help aspiring homebuyers and current homeowners secure more in-depth information on the mortgage process. The search engine giant, which first ventured into the mortgage realm in 2015 via the creation of an online mortgage calculator feature, has teamed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on this search feature.
