GoKawiilGoogle Messages begins rolling out redesigned search to beta app users
Google Messages' overhauled search interface, first spotted hidden in the app's code back in September, is now live for some beta testers without needing manual activation. The new design replaces the old filter grid with visual previews of shared images, videos and links, moves the search bar to the bottom of the screen, and splits results into separate chat and message sections. Some testers are also seeing a new in-chat search shortcut.
