Google I/O 2026 was held at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in California on Tuesday. During the keynote of the annual developer conference, the tech giant announced a major overhaul of its Search experience, calling it the biggest change to the Search box in over 25 years. Among the most notable changes is the new intelligent Search box, built on Gemini 3.5 Flash. The revamped experience aims to make it easier for users to ask more natural, complex, and multi-modal queries using text, images, videos, files, and even Chrome tabs.
