Google Continues AI Search Push With Curated 'Web Guide' Results

From PC Mag: Google is testing a new "Web Guide" feature that uses AI to organize the search results page.

While complex Search algorithms organize traditional results page, Web Guide results will be sorted by a custom version of Gemini AI. The latter will make it easier to find information and “group web links in helpful ways,” Google says.

Web Guide also uses AI Mode’s fan-out technique, meaning it will present results for related queries alongside your main query. Unlike AI Overviews and AI Mode, which take over the top half of the page, this seems intended to offer AI-curated answers while retaining Search’s familiar structure and providing relevant blue links.

In a demo, Google shared Web Guide’s response to “how to solo travel in Japan.” The page had separate sections for comprehensive guides, personal experiences from other travelers, and safety and destination recommendations.
