Google Search gets a slew of new features on its 20th anniversary

It's been 20 years since Google Search first arrived on the web, and the company is updating its core product with a slew of new features for the anniversary.

The throughline for the features is AI. Google Search now anticipates and customizes much of your search experience automatically, and it also uses AI on the back end to do things like create relevant clips from videos. Another clear focus is mobile, mobile, mobile. At the event in San Francisco, where Google announced the new features, virtually every slide showed how the new tools would look on a smartphone, not a desktop.
