Google Search is getting its biggest changes ever

Google Search is entering the next phase of its AI evolution. During Google I/O 2026, the company showed off a reimagined search box that makes it easier to flow between AI Overviews, the AI-generated summaries that appear at the top of search results, and AI Mode, Google's chatbot-like search experience . Powered by the new Gemini 3.5 Flash model, Google's updated search box expands for longer queries, while offering a new AI-powered autocomplete feature to build on your question.
