"If you're like me, you probably head to Google's search engine on the web several times a day to get information on specific topics. But if you're working in Windows, that means you have to stop what you're doing, fire up your browser, go to Google's search site, and then enter your query. Wouldn't it be quicker and easier if you could do all of that without launching your browser? Well, now you can."
"The window works just like the regular results page. You can move from one page of results to another and narrow down the results by images, shopping, news, videos, and more. You can also jump to Google AI Mode if you want an AI-based synopsis of the results. The new app also taps into Google Lens, which means you can search any text or image on your screen just by selecting it."
Google released a Windows app that provides a floating Google search bar usable anywhere in Windows 10 and 11. The search field opens results in a scrollable window that functions like the regular results page with filters for images, shopping, news, videos, and AI Mode for an AI-based synopsis. The app integrates Google Lens to search selected text or images, copy content, and translate text. Installation requires enabling the Google app for Windows lab, downloading and installing the program, and signing into a Google account. The app requests access to local files and Google Drive by default, which can be disabled.
