Google IO 2026: Google Search is becoming more natural as the Mountain View-based tech giant announced its biggest Search upgrades in years. At the Google IO event, the company introduced AI-powered enhancements that can handle complex queries, hold conversations, remember user information, make reservations, and even complete purchases. Google said the new AI Mode in Search already has more than one billion monthly users, with usage growing rapidly every quarter. As a result, the company is rolling out Gemini 3.5 Flash as the default AI model for Search globally. In addition, Google has redesigned the Search box with AI-powered suggestions and support for text, images, files, videos, and Chrome tabs. The update is now rolling out worldwide in regions where AI Mode is available.
