The topic Google rolling out a really vibrant Search Live redesign is currently the subject of lively discussion — readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.
This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies’ decisions and competitors’ reactions can quickly change the picture.
After refreshing AI Mode’s interface, Google is now rolling out a fullscreen redesign for Search Live that is quite vibrant.
Since launch, Search Live has used an arc-shaped waveform as Google waits for voice input and as you’re talking. When issuing a response, the arc curves downward.
Search Live is now introducing a perimeter glow that’s blue as you ask a question. It then changes to a gradient waveform at the bottom when Google is responding.
The new design allows the video feed to take up your entire screen instead of just the top half. This gradient is really quite vibrant and somewhat reminiscent of Circle to Search.
The Unmute, Video, and Transcript buttons remain at the bottom. Other controls are still at the top-right corner, including the recently introduced “CC” for live captions. There are minor spacing tweaks for the web results carousel and other prompts.
We’re seeing this Search Live redesign with version 17.20 of the Google app on Android, but it’s not yet widely rolled out.
