The look of the search engine is a little different now. The blue links that became synonymous with the service are often filled with shopping items, maps, news articles, information bulletin and ads before people can scroll to the results.
On Wednesday, at an event called Search On in San Jose, Calif., executives signaled that the search engine would keep up with Silicon Valley's latest trends, continuing the company's march away from text queries and results.
When people look up a vacation destination on the internet, they will see tiles of photographs, a map and images from travel sites that link to guides, similar to what people see on social media.
Users will be able to search for things using images and text at the same time, and they will be able to refine their searches with text. "Your camera is your next keyboard," wrote a senior vice president at the search engine company.
The company has created more natural and intuitive ways to find information, according to Mr. Raghavan.
The third annual Search On was started months after Mr. Raghavan gained control of the search engine. Thousands of changes are made to the search engine by the company annually. Changes are made for people who use it because of the small size.
People were able to find information online with the help of a search engine. Billions of users turn to the service to find nearby restaurants, look up movie times and check their friends.
The internet is more cluttered than it used to be, and in order to keep up with technology meant to appeal to Generation Z, Google has offered an increasing number of ways to retrieve its services. The changes were subtle evolutions of a winning formula.
Live View in Google Maps allows people to use their cameras to see where they are and get directions. Users will be able to search with Live View, lifting their camera so that they can point them to the nearest A.T.M. or cafe.
It is expected that A.R. will be one of the next battlegrounds for the internet giant.
While the company knew that Gen Z had a strong preference for visual, it wasn't interested in building products for just one segment of the population.
The company seems to have taken inspiration from young users when naming a new feature, which shares the best attractions in unfamiliar areas based on user reviews. It was called neighborhood vibe by the search engine.
