"Google wants you to use its iconic search engine the way you use Gemini. The company announced on Tuesday that it's expanding its AI Overviews, which will now be powered by and come with an AI chat window to answer follow-up questions. There's no obvious way to turn off AI Overviews in Google Search (you can try to create a custom search shortcut in your browser)."
"For a long time, Google has told us that the best way to get the search results we want is to be strategic about keywords. It's why you see so many search suggestions that aren't grammatically correct but include the necessary signals to get Google to pull up the right pages. Now, Google is saying we don't need to be so picky. We can use longer, more conversational searches to get the results we want."
Google is expanding AI Overviews in Search, now powered by Gemini and including an AI chat window for follow-up questions. The feature is rolling out globally on mobile. There is no obvious way to turn off AI Overviews; users can create a custom search shortcut in their browser to bypass it. Follow-up questions in the prompting window will redirect users to Google's AI chat. AI Mode offers an agentic, AI-driven search experience that lets the model handle complex or lengthy queries and perform the bulk of search work. Google previously tested early iterations and teased the functionality in December.
