#Google search app Windows

Google has launched its desktop app for Windows, bringing its AI-powered search experience beyond the browser and directly into the operating system. The app integrates Google’s AI Mode into Windows, allowing users to search the web, files, and apps using natural language without opening a browser. The app opens through a keyboard shortcut, displaying a floating search interface where users can type questions and receive AI-generated answers along with relevant web results.
