Year in Search 2025: What and how we searched this year

/in , , /by

2025 was the year an American became pope, KPop Demon Hunters topped the charts and new AI breakthroughs captured people’s imaginations. These moments and many others inspired people around the world to follow their curiosity in new ways.

With new AI capabilities in Google Search, people asked questions in more conversational ways, like they would while talking to a friend. This year, we saw people asking “What’s the deal with…” queries more than ever. (One popular example? “What’s the deal with 6-7?”)

And we weren’t just looking for quick answers: People want to understand more about the world around them. Searches for “Tell me about…” are up 70% year over year, and queries starting with “How do I…” reached an all-time high with a 25% increase from last year. And the latter included timely questions like “How do I know if my Labubu is real?,” which rose to the top.

Visit the Year in Search website to explore all the top trends of 2025, and keep the questions coming!

This capability is also available through Lens, via the Google app (Android and iOS) with three short steps:

  • Take a screenshot of the message
  • Open Lens in the Google app
  • Tap the screenshot

After you follow these steps on your device, our systems will use AI and information from the web to assess whether the message is likely a scam. You’ll see an overview with guidance and insights including suggested next steps.

This capability is available globally in Circle to Search and Lens, and will appear when our systems have high confidence in the quality of the response.

16 Google AI tips for stress-free holiday hosting in 2025

/in , , /by

Simplify the cooking process

8. Rely on Gemini for Home as your right-hand helper

Gemini for Home replaces Google Assistant on your smart displays and speakers and also upgrades devices in your home like your cameras and doorbells. There are plenty of ways to use it for holiday hosting. Just say “Hey Google,” then ask Gemini to add ingredients for a cozy appetizer to your shopping list or set timers as you get to work in the kitchen. (You can even do this with your Pixel Watch 4 using its Raise to Talk feature if your hands are full.) And if you want to have an even more free-flowing conversation while you cook, you can say, “Hey Google, let’s chat,” to talk to Gemini Live.

9. Get quick visual cooking help from Google Lens

With Google Lens, you can take a photo of ingredients sitting in front of you and ask your question out loud. For example, you can take a photo of your onions and ask “exactly what kind of onions are these and what’s the best way to cook them?”

10. Use Gemini to navigate dietary restrictions

To make sure your guests don’t leave hungry, ask your Gem for help finding recipes everyone can enjoy based on dietary restrictions. Or try double-checking with Gemini Live that a specific ingredient really is gluten-free before you start whisking!

Enjoy the party with your guests

11. Solve party emergencies with AI Overviews

Spills don’t have to be a disaster: AI Overviews in Search can get you instant solutions when every second counts. Search for something like “is salt or baking soda better for stain removal?” to get the information you need with links to learn more — helping you save the day and get back to your guests in no time.

12. Handle logistics in the Google Home app

Our redesigned Google Home app lets you keep the good vibes going from your phone. The app houses your favorite Nest and other smart home devices and features: You can adjust your Nest Thermostat; unlock the front door as guests arrive and lower the lights to set the mood.

Stay organized and save time

12. Turn on your Pixel’s Extreme Battery Saver for long travel days. (With the newest Pixels, you’ll get up to 100 hours of battery life for Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL, and the 10 Pro XL has our fastest charging yet at 70% in just 30 minutes. And if you take advantage of Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL holiday deals right now, you’ll get Google AI Pro for a year on us.)

13. Do you prep for a busy season by taking screenshots of meals, events, gifts and whatever else catches your attention across social media and the web? Keep it all organized in Pixel Screenshots. It can auto-organize for you (like grouping all recipe screenshots together) or you can create categories (like “table setting inspo” and “gift ideas for the cousins”). The app even uses on-device AI so you can search and find exactly what you’re looking for.

14. Check out Google Maps’ new trends before you head to your family dinner, the post office or shopping mall! You might save yourself some valuable time.

15. Speaking of saving time: New Gemini features in Google Maps mean you can ask questions like your friend is in the passenger seat— for example, if you’re on the way to a holiday party somewhere you’ve never been, you can ask “Where can I stop on the way to pick up flowers?” and then follow-up by asking what the parking situation is like at your final destination.

16. Search “near me” on Google Maps: Try things like “holiday events near me” or “holiday pop-ups near me” and see what’s going on nearby. Also check out Google Maps’ updated Explore tab: Just swipe up to see trending and popular restaurants, activities and sights near you.

17. If you have a Pixel Watch 4, rely on Raise to Talk to use Gemini when your hands are full while shopping, cooking, wrapping gifts or whatever else. Just raise your wrist and ask Gemini to do things like set a timer, remind you to leave the house in 30 minutes or ask it what day your holiday happy hour is.

18. Traveling with a group over the holidays? Make a custom, shareable Gem that has all the details, giving everyone access to an AI travel guide with all the info they’ll need.

Google Search with Gemini 3: Our most intelligent search yet

/in , , /by

Thanks to Gemini 3’s advanced reasoning, Google Search’s query fan-out technique is getting a major upgrade. Now, not only can it perform even more searches to uncover relevant web content, but because Gemini more intelligently understands your intent it can find new content that it may have previously missed. This means Search can help you find even more credible, highly relevant content for your specific question.

And in the coming weeks, we’re also enhancing our automatic model selection in Search with Gemini 3. This means Search will intelligently route your most challenging questions in AI Mode and AI Overviews to this frontier model — while continuing to use faster models for simpler tasks. This will be rolling out to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the U.S.

Generative UI: Visual layouts, interactive tools and simulations in AI Mode

Gemini 3’s unparalleled multimodal understanding and powerful agentic coding capabilities are also unlocking more bespoke generative user interfaces. Now, Gemini 3 in AI Mode can dynamically create the ideal visual layout for responses on the fly — featuring interactive tools and simulations — tailored to your query.

To do this, Gemini 3 analyzes your question and creates the most helpful layout, building a custom response with visual elements — like images, tables and grids — so the final output isn’t just informative, but clear and actionable. When the model detects that an interactive tool will help you better understand the topic, it uses its generative capabilities to code a custom simulation or tool in real-time and adds it into your response.
