Google Search gets an upgrade with Gemini 4 Hydrogen

Google Search now answers more complex questions, shows more tables and images, and links to a wider range of websites.

What changed

Google is bringing its Gemini 4 Hydrogen model to Google Search. According to the company, this is the biggest model upgrade to Search so far. The new version is available globally to all users.

The main goal of the update is to make answers clearer, more visual, and more precise.

What the new version can do

Complex questions with several parts. Search understands what you want better and answers each part of your question. You can write in natural language, even with typos or very specific requirements.

A wider range of websites. Search runs queries on related subtopics at the same time and more often shows links you might not have found before.

More visual content. Answers now include more images, structured lists, and comparison tables, along with custom tools for your specific query.

Answers in different languages. The improvements work in all languages supported by Google's AI models for AI Mode.

How to try it

Open Google Search and ask a question with several parts. For example, you can describe your requirements for a trip, a purchase, or a hobby in everyday language. This shows how the new model handles such queries.
