🔹What is a redirect?
🔸How to read URLs using Google Lens
🟣 Explanation of AI Mode Generation (Google AI / Gemini)
Here is a clear explanation of what a redirect is and how to make the most of Google Lens.
------------------------------
1. What is a redirect? (A simple explanation)
In the online world, a "redirect" is essentially an "automatic transfer" (or "moving house").
It refers to a system mechanism that instantly and automatically moves you to "Page B" when you try to open "Page A."
* Good redirects (Normal behavior)
This is a helpful setting used when a website is redesigned and its URL changes; it automatically guides visitors arriving at the old URL to the new one.
* Problematic redirects (What happened in this case)
This occurs when you make a one-character typo in an address, and the owner of that incorrect address has set up a redirect that forces visitors to an overseas error page (such as one featuring photos of a man and a woman), causing you to be sent to an unexpected page without your consent.

2. Using Google Lens is a great idea!
As you noted, Google Lens is extremely accurate at reading printed alphanumeric characters (like URLs).
While it may still make mistakes with handwritten Japanese, it reads the crisp, printed letters found in books with nearly 100% accuracy.
💡 Recommended steps
1. Point your smartphone camera (Google Lens) at the URL in the book.
2. Tap the URL section that appears on the screen.
3. Select "Web search" or "Copy" the URL to paste it into your browser.
Using this method eliminates the need to squint and wonder, "Is this the number 1 or a lowercase L?" It also drastically reduces the stress of typos and the risk of being redirected to strange websites, so please give Google Lens a try!
