For all its driverless cars, AI chips, and fitness trackers, Search is still Google’s most important product.<\/p>\n

That’s why it’s a big deal any time Google makes a change to its search engine \u2014 especially if it’s the biggest update in a quarter century.<\/p>\n

The company said on Tuesday that it is giving the traditional Search box an AI-infused upgrade, as it continues to form \u2014 and respond to \u2014 changing user habits.<\/p>\n

While it’s still very much a box, Google is adding features to its default Search that were previously confined to its “AI Mode” tool,such as having it expand with longer queries, and adding the ability to upload files, videos, images, and even Chrome tabs to ask questions about.<\/p>\n

Google said Search will still display a list of website links and AI summaries like before. The key difference is that its AI tools are being brought even closer to Search than ever.<\/p>\n

Since last year, Google has been gradually rolling out and improving its AI Mode, which behaves more like its chatbot, Gemini, by letting users ask follow-up questions. Rather than simply responding to a question with a list of results, AI Mode provides more detailed responses written by AI and fewer direct links to websites.<\/p>\n

The updated Search box will also provide AI-powered suggestions as users type, which Google says are more comprehensive than auto-correct.<\/p>\n

“This is truly the biggest upgrade to our iconic search box since its debut over 25 years ago,” Liz Reid, Google’s VP of Search, said on a briefing with reporters on Monday. She said the new Search box will go live around the world on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
