Google's desktop search bar now available globally

Google has launched its desktop search application for Windows worldwide, offering a feature similar to macOS's Spotlight. The app allows users to search both the web and local files, including those stored on Google Drive, via an Alt + Space shortcut. It integrates Google Lens and screen sharing capabilities for contextual queries. Users can filter search results into categories like 'All,' 'Images,' and 'AI Mode.' This release expands Google's efforts to provide integrated search experiences across different platforms and operating systems, aiming to streamline user workflows by combining file and web searches.
