Google announced that its AI Overviews feature is expanding to six new countries, including India, the United Kingdom, Japan, Indonesia, Mexico, and Brazil. Initially launched in the US in May, AI Overviews provides users with concise and informative summaries of complex topics, making it easier to understand and explore information.

Google is also introducing new features to enhance the user experience and expand its geographic scope. These include:

• Local language support: AI Overviews will be available in each country's regional languages, ensuring better accessibility and relevance for users.
• Improved search results: Google is refining how relevant websites are displayed, making it easier to explore related information.
• Right-hand link display: AI Overviews will now include a new right-hand link display on the desktop. This feature is also accessible on mobile by tapping site icons located at the upper right of the screen.
• Save AI Overviews: Users in the U.S. can now save specific AI Overviews for future reference. By tapping the “save” button under an overview, users can easily revisit the same information and links later. This is available for English queries and requires enrollment in the “AI Overviews and more” experiment in Search Labs.

Hema Budaraju, Senior Director, Product Management, Search, said "We're excited to bring AI Overviews to more people around the world, this expansion allows us to reach a wider audience and provide them with a more informative and efficient search experience."

With this update, Google aims to redefine search possibilities by empowering users to ask a broader range of questions, find information more quickly, and explore the best of the web.
