Overview
- A new switch in the upper-left of the search results screen lets users choose AI-driven Ask Photos or faster classic keyword search.
- The feature is a gradual server-side rollout, so availability will vary and some users may not see the toggle yet.
- Ask Photos supports complex, natural-language queries using Gemini-based models, reported by outlets as Gemini 3.
- Google says it has improved quality for some of the most popular searches and recently recorded more positive feedback on Ask Photos.
- The visible control replaces a previously buried setting to disable Gemini, making the choice between search modes easier to find.
