Google's AI-powered search is now available in India, how to use the new features
Exciting news for internet users in India – Google has introduced its brand-new AI-powered search feature! If you've ever wanted to revolutionize the way you browse the web, now is your chance. Over the years, Google has become synonymous with online searching, and its AI-powered search is here to take things up a notch. Let's dive into how you can make the most of this cutting-edge feature.
Remember when Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella referred to Google as the ‘800-pound gorilla' in the online search arena?
Well, that's a testament to Google's dominance in the world of web search.
We've all heard phrases like ‘just Google it,' highlighting how deeply Google's search engine has become woven into our lives. And now, Google's familiar search interface has received a complete makeover, thanks to the introduction of AI-powered technology. This significant upgrade was unveiled in May during Google's annual event, Google I/O.
But here's the big news: this AI-powered search experience is now available in India, as well as in Japan, expanding beyond its initial availability in the US. The company recently announced the expansion of its Search Generative Experience (SGE) to reach more people.
Google's blog post about the expansion of SGE to India and Japan states, “This week, we launched Search Labs in the first countries outside the U.S. — India and Japan — enabling people to opt into SGE to help them better understand topics faster, uncover new viewpoints and insights, and get things done more easily.”
For Indian users, there's an added bonus – a language toggle designed to facilitate effortless switching between English and Hindi. What's more, Indian users can also listen to responses, catering to their preferences. Despite these changes, ads will continue to appear in dedicated slots on the search page.
Much like Microsoft's AI-powered Bing, Google's revamped search approach integrates information from the web and presents it coherently to users. Unlike the traditional method of displaying a list of links, Google's SGE takes the initiative to curate information and present an AI-generated summary atop the search results. In an effort to enhance the visual aspect of search, Google is also including a variety of images in the search results.
Now, you might be wondering about the original webpage links. Don't worry – they're still there. However, the AI-generated summary will appear first, and if you wish to delve deeper, you can simply scroll down to access the original links.
Eager to give this innovative search experience a try? Here's how you can get started:
- Head over to Google.com.
- Look for the Search Labs icon located in the top right corner of the screen.
- Click on the icon, and a popup will appear, introducing you to SGE and generative AI in Search.
- Find the toggle button next to the line that reads, ‘When turned on, SGE may appear when you search.'
- You can also choose to try an example to see how the new search experience functions and feel free to provide feedback.
By following these simple steps, you'll unlock a whole new way of exploring the internet – one that's powered by AI and designed to make your searching smoother, quicker, and more insightful. Say goodbye to sifting through endless links; with AI-generated summaries at the forefront, your online searches will never be the same again. Embrace the future of web browsing with Google's AI-powered search today!
