TLDR

Google confirmed it's dynamically expanding AI Overviews to full-screen responses on some queries, eliminating the "Show more" button and pushing organic results further down the page.

Optimixed Overview

Optimixed's original report on this story.

Search Engine Land confirmed that Google is now fully expanding AI Overviews for certain queries, displaying a complete AI-generated answer without requiring users to click "Show more," and pushing core search results out of view until users scroll. Google stated the change targets "topics where our systems determine it's most useful for people" and claimed internal research shows users find Search more helpful with the dynamic experience. The move represents another step toward making AI Mode the default search experience, likely resulting in fewer clicks to organic web results—a continuation of the click-reduction trend AI Overviews already drive.
