Google is currently testing new features for its AI Overviews in Search, as observed by some users. These updates appear to focus on improving user interaction with AI-generated content and source links.
1. Save Function in Labs:
- A "Save" button appears for AI Overviews.
- Saved overviews are stored in a private collection in the Google Search App.
- Users can access saved overviews like other collections in the app.
2. Updated Link Presentation (Non-Labs Accounts):
- Links are displayed at the top of the overview with small favicons.
- An overflow menu provides access to all links.
- Link icons within the overview appear as link symbols.
- Tapping these icons shows relevant links for that section in an overlay.
The save function was observed in a labs account, while the new link presentation was seen in a non-labs account.
These features are not universally available, and their presence may vary among users. As with any test features, the final implementation may differ from what has been observed.
Users can check their Google Search App and search results to see if they have access to these features.
