Machine learning will soon make it simpler to discover what you need. Previously, search results relied on things like chips, filters, and operators to help you find that elusive email. If you know exactly what you are looking for, this can be excellent, but if you only have a passing memory of an email from the past, this new capability could be a true game-changer.
Along with individualized results based on past behavior, the company’s new ML models should be able to offer more contextual suggestions with “intent matching.”
General availability has now begun, but it may take a couple of weeks for all users to get access to the improved search tools. Google typically adds more features for its business customers than it does for personal users, but this time, all Workspace (and legacy G Suite Basic and Business) and personal users will be able to use the new tool.
We don’t know if the ML searching capabilities will be limited to browser experiences, as previous updates have been, or whether they will be immediately available in mobile apps, too.
The idea is to bring collaboration tools like Chat and Meet into a central interface to help eliminate the need for users to switch back and forth between tabs. The company has also made changes and enhancements to its Meet video conferencing platform to help smooth out real-time collaboration.
While the changes will be visually minimal, Google has separately started rolling out a new interface for most customers. Previously available on an opt-in basis, an updated layout is now becoming default for many accounts)
