The search box will continue to expand as the user enters the query or prompt. There is an AI-powered suggestion that Google\u2019s Head of Search, Liz Reid, said \u201cgoes beyond autocomplete.\u201d <\/p> <p>Plus, you can search with text, images, files, videos or your Chrome tabs. <\/p> <p>Here is what the new intelligent search box looks like:<\/p> <figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080;\" width=\"1920\" controls=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2026\/05\/Intelligent-Search-Box.mp4\"\/><\/figure> <p>This puts Google\u2019s \u201cmost powerful AI tools right at your fingertips, making it easier to ask your questions,\u201d Liz Reid of Google said.<\/p> <p><strong>Seamless Google Search to AI Mode. <\/strong>Google also said it made the AI Overviews seamless link approach to AI Mode live today globally both on desktop and mobile. This is something that launched to many back in January but is now fully live.<\/p> <p>Here is how this works:<\/p> <figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080;\" width=\"1920\" controls=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2026\/05\/Seamless-AI-Search.mp4\"\/><\/figure> <p><strong>Why we care. <\/strong>The Google Search box looks and feels different and that might be a big deal to how it leads to how users search on Google. It might impact the type of search traffic Google has been sending you and will send you in the future. It might lead to more people jumping to AI Mode sooner from Google Search and it might lead to more AI Overviews with deeper answers. It might lead to fewer clicks to your web site than before.<\/p> <p>Change is not always easy, but it is inevitable, especially when it comes to Google Search.<\/p> <p>Sundar Pichai, Google\u2019s CEO told us that the extraordinary thing about Search is how people search and expect more from Google Search.\u00a0 Search is evolving, from individual queries to ongoing conversations and now to agentic workflows.\u00a0 Search is the most used product in the world, Sundar said and Google will evolve super hard to stay a step ahead of where our users want to be.<\/p> <\/div> <hr\/> <p class=\"article-disclosure\"> <em>Search Engine Land is owned by Semrush.
