Google AI Mode improves visual search with ‘query fan-out’ Google is updating AI Mode to better understand visual prompts by applying a technique called query fan-out. Instead of returning long text blocks for image queries, AI Mode now runs multiple sub-queries in the background to more precisely identify and return relevant images — making visual search and shopping experiences more useful.

Query fan-out: The system breaks down image queries into multiple searches to better interpret complex styles or product attributes (eg. “moody but maximalist” bedrooms). Follow-up refinement: Ask clarifying questions like “more ankle length” and AI Mode will refine the results accordingly. Shopping benefits: Visual, refined results make it easier to find…
