Before the AI integration wave a couple years ago, Google Search hadn’t changed much. Their AI Search Labs team started testing ways to improve it. One test that many people noticed was called AI Overviews. It gave a quick summary of search results before clicking on links. This lets people easily see what sites are about without leaving the search page.
AI Overviews started off rocky with wrong summaries sometimes. But Google made it better. Now summaries will automatically appear for more people around the world. Places like the UK, India, Japan, Indonesia, Mexico, and Brazil will get summaries in their own language right away.
Google also updated how the summaries work. Links inside are easier to click like on regular websites. On phones, small icons show where links will take you. Testing found people click more on-site links this way. This should help websites get more visitors.
For some testing of the new features, one lets you save a summary to look at later. The other makes summaries simpler to read with one click. But the changes will slowly reach more areas in the coming weeks. Google’s goal is to provide helpful information quickly through search. These AI Overview updates aim to improve that worldwide.
