Google Unveils Biggest Search Box Upgrade in 25 Years With AI Agents
Google integrates Gemini 3.5 Flash into Search and launches a fully reimagined, AI-powered search box. The update allows users to deploy AI agents simply by asking a question.
Google completely transforms its flagship Search product by integrating Gemini 3.5 Flash as the new default model in AI Mode for global users. This upgrade arrives exactly one year after AI Mode's debut, a period during which the feature surpasses one billion monthly users and drives overall search queries to an all-time high. By bringing advanced model capabilities directly into the search engine, Google merges traditional search functionality with powerful AI tools.
The most visible change is the biggest upgrade to the Search box in over 25 years, now fully reimagined with artificial intelligence. This intelligent input field dynamically expands to give users more space to describe complex needs and offers AI-powered suggestions that go far beyond traditional autocomplete. Additionally, the new search box supports multiple modalities, allowing people to input text, images, files, videos, or open Chrome tabs to find exactly what they need.
Beyond the upgraded interface, Google enables users to deploy powerful AI agents simply by typing a question into the search bar. The system is designed to anticipate user intent and makes it incredibly simple to ask follow-up questions to continue the conversation. The new intelligent Search box rolls out today across all countries and languages where AI Mode is currently available.
