Additional enhancements to the search results page in Google Chat

What’s changing

Recently, Google announced a redesigned search results page in Google Chat. This page highlights relevant keywords in search results and displays clear boundaries between results for easier browsing.

Google is introducing condensed versions of your search results to only show the relevant parts of a message that match closest to your search query. By selecting “Show more”, you can view the entire message without the need to open the conversation.
