TLDR

Google revamped Image Search with a gallery layout, added AI image generation to AI Overviews, and is testing sponsored product hiding in Shopping results.

SERoundtable reports on several Google updates from its daily search forum recap: Google Image Search celebrated its 25th anniversary by replacing its minimal search box with an image gallery interface, while AI Overviews now generate images directly within responses. Google also confirmed it is testing the ability to hide or show sponsored products in Shopping results—a feature that previously rolled out to main search results last October. Additionally, Google expanded Shopping ads and free product listings to more countries while banning prediction market ads in Michigan and New York.
