Overview

Google Search is entering the next phase of its AI evolution. During Google I/O 2026, the company showcased 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.

New Features

  • Powered by the new Gemini 3.5 Flash model, the updated search box expands to accommodate longer queries.
  • A new AI‑powered autocomplete feature builds on your question as you type.
  • AI Overviews are shown reliably when you ask a natural‑language question.

Comments from Google

Robby Stein, Google’s Vice President of Product for Search, told The Verge that users will “reliably” see AI Overviews if they ask a natural‑language question.
