Search app for Android. The feature adds a new filter labelled Short Video next to the Images filter atop the search result space. This new feature is believed to index and collate all short video content available publicly on various platforms.

The report highlighted that despite spotting the feature, clicking on it did not do anything, and the filter disappeared. This could be due to the feature being an early experiment for

requires a user to add the name of the platform after the search keyword, which can be frustrating, especially if the user has to repeat the process for all platforms separately.

Search and Gemini AI. Switching the toggle will take the user to the Gemini AI interface where the chatbot can be used to generate content and perform chatbot-specific tasks. It is said that this feature is near completion and should begin rolling out to users globally within the next few weeks.
