Google has announced the global expansion of the Search Live feature, bringing this artificial intelligence (AI) search engine to more than 200 countries and territories.
This move marks a new step forward in the strategy of transforming the search experience from text to multi-mode interaction.
Search Live allows users to interact directly with search engines by voice and images in real time.
The operating feature is based on the Gemini 3.1 Flash Live model, Google's new AI platform specializing in processing natural conversations, supporting multiple languages and quick response.
Instead of typing keywords as traditionally, users just need to open the Google app on Android or iOS, tap the "Live" icon below the search bar and start asking questions by voice.
The system will respond instantly by audio, while providing relevant information links on the web. Users can also continue to ask additional questions, creating a seamless conversation.
The highlight of Search Live lies in the ability to combine cameras to provide visual context.
Users can direct the camera to a specific object or situation and receive instructions and explanations in real time.
For example, when assembling furniture, users only need to record the camera into the details to be operated to receive step-by-step instructions.
This feature can also be combined with Google Lens, allowing the transition from image recognition to direct conversation.
According to Google, this multi-mode approach makes the search engine more useful in real-life situations, especially when users need quick support or are not convenient to operate manually.
This is considered an important step in narrowing the gap between digital search and real-life interaction.
In addition to expanding global coverage, Google is also strengthening language support in India, a populous and diverse language market.
In addition to the pre-existing English and Hindi, Search Live now supports more regional languages such as Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu.
This addition reflects the strategy of AI localization, helping users easily access technology in their mother tongue.
The development of Search Live shows a trend of change in the way users interact with search engines.
Contextual conversation queries are gradually replacing searching with single keywords. This opens up the possibility of processing complex questions that are closer to practical needs.
Google said it will continue to improve Search Live in the near future, expand features and improve responsiveness.
By deeply integrating AI into core products, the company expects to turn search engines into smarter, more flexible and personalized assistants for global users.
