Google is expanding its innovative Search Live feature in India, making the country the second after the United States to receive this high-end tool. The tech giant first introduced the Search Live feature a Google’s I/O 2025 event in May. The feature allows users to engage in natural and back-and-forth conversations with AI. It also access information in real-time across the web and immediately interact with the user in continuation.
The Search Live doesn’t work like typical voice search, and hence, promises a more interactive and immersive experience.
With the help of Search Live features, users will not only be able to speak their queries but also use their camera to tap on objects for instant answers. The feature more or less mirrors the Gemini Live system, however, the only difference is Search Live draws its answers directly from websites in real-time.
The feature will soon be rolled out in India. The interface will include a new icon located below the search bar, making it easy to access for all users.
The Search Live feature leverages from the custom version of the Google’s Gemini AI and is equipped with the advanced voice capabilities. The company has used a technique called ‘Query Fan Out’ that delivers a broader and more diverse set of responses. The technique makes sure that users are getting comprehensive and accurate information rather than a limited set of search results.
To recall, India became the first country after the United States to get the AI Mode, which is yet another major innovation in conversational searches. AI Mode functions like a chatbot, wherein users can ask questions, request comparison, and seek step-by-step guidance.
Another major innovation that Google rolled out in India is the AI Overviews, powered by Gemini. It delivers auto-generated snapshots of search results. It is available in 40 languages and serves over 2 billion users per month across 200 countries.
