Google has integrated new experiences into the app from which all mobile searches are performed, but now goes further with moving the search bar: goes up and down to make it more comfortable to use and will now be persistent.
If in May it put at your fingertips the possibility of sharing any search result, now the central idea is that the search bar appears persistently in any web result or in the Discover article which opens. This will make it easier to quickly complete another query.
The Google app is updated so that the bar appears located at the bottom of the custom tabs from Chrome; which was also recently updated so that they appear minimized floating on the screen like a YouTube video does.
New position in the search bar
The bar is exactly the same as the one found in Discover with the Google and Lens logos just right with the mic. Clicking on it takes you to the full search screen with previous queries performed and other suggestions so you can quickly tap them to perform a quick search.
Maybe the new bar this can take away viewing space from the website you landed on or from the Discover article, but this is not significant or likely to produce a bad experience. And if the user has enabled the “AI tools while browsing” option from Search Labs, the bar will change so that this time it uses too much space at the bottom of the screen.
Although the best thing in this case is that the AI of Google will provide a summary of the website to get a better idea of the search result given to the query made from Discover. And of course, the fact that the bar at the bottom is sturdy makes the experience more comfortable and you can do one request after another.
It is possible, depending on 9to5Google, Google finally brings the bar to the bottom of its Chrome browser, although at the moment no integration leak has appeared. Other browsers like Firefox moved the URL bar to the bottom years ago; particularly because cell phones have evolved to a more elongated form factor, making it more difficult to reach the top of the screen if you are using the cell phone with one hand.
