Google automatically expands AI summaries, pushing search links further down results page
Source Summary
Google is automatically expanding its AI search summaries at the top of search results pages for some searches, pushing traditional link listings significantly lower. The expanded AI Overview now appears in full at the top, followed by an "Ask anything" box, requiring users to scroll further to access the standard search links.
Why it matters
This change affects how users discover and access traditional web search results, as AI-generated summaries now occupy more prominent space on Google's results pages.
What remains uncertain
Google's specific criteria for automatically expanding AI Overviews for certain searches remains unclear.
