Google's AI-powered search was introduced in May during Google's annual mega-event, the Google I/O. Now, the feature is available in India and Japan. Earlier, the feature was available only in the US. 

In a recent blog post, the company announced that they are bringing the Search Generative Experience (SGE) to more people. 

The blog post stated, "This week, we launched Search Labs in the first countries outside the US — 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". 

The post added that there is a unique feature for India. Users will be able to find a language toggle to help multilingual speakers easily switch back and forth between English and Hindi. And Indian users can also listen to the responses, which is a popular preference'. The company remarked that the ads will continue appearing in dedicated slots throughout the search page.  

Like Microsoft's Bing, Google's new search method combines information from the internet and presents it cohesively to users. Usually, when you search for something on Google, you see a list of links to web pages and have to sort through various links to derive the information the user needs. 

However, with SGE, Google will do all the work for the user, and there will be an AI-generated summary on top of the search results. In addition, Google is also focusing on search, becoming more 'visual' in its approach and containing several images in the results. 

To use the new search experience, users must enable it via Search Labs. Go to Google.com, locate the Search Labs icon on the top right of the screen, click on it, and you will see a popup talking about SGE, generative AI in search. Locate the toggle button next to the line, 'When turned on, SGE may appear when you search'. Google also demonstrated the functioning of the tool using an example. An option for sending feedback is also available.
