Google Search just got the biggest makeover in nearly 30 years — here's the upgrades

Google Search is AI Search at Google I/O 2026.

Google's biggest product is still Search. During its last earnings call, the company said Google Search queries had reached an all-time high, helping the business grow by 19%. Google has also been steadily adding new AI-focused features to Search, including AI Mode, which was introduced at last year's I/O.
