Google Overhauls Search With Gemini 3.5 Flash and New Multimodal Interface

The company says the redesign will turn the search box into a generative, multimodal assistant that reshapes how people get answers and follow sources.

Hay varias opciones para quienes no quieren ver los contenidos generados por la IA de Google en las respuestas a sus búsquedas
Google afronta problemas con el despliegue de la IA en su buscador.

Overview

  • Google announced the redesign on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, and began rolling out a Gemini 3.5 Flash–powered smart search box that merges AI Overviews and AI Mode into a single screen.
  • The new interface accepts native multimodal inputs such as text, images, video, files and Chrome tabs and adds generative UI elements plus 'information agents' that can monitor the web and send personalized summaries.
  • English-speaking users and specialist outlets reported a bug in AI Overviews that treats some words like 'disregard', 'ignore' or 'stop' as operational commands rather than queries, and Google has acknowledged the issue and said it is working on a fix.
  • Users who prefer the classic list of links can use Google’s Web tab or temporary workarounds such as the URL parameter &udm=14 and browser extensions to restore the traditional results view.
  • The change continues a multi-year shift toward conversational, long-form and multimodal search and raises trade-offs between convenience and traceability because AI Overviews synthesize answers with footnoted source attributions that may obscure original context.
