According to Google's Workspace update post, Chat and Gmail will begin receiving a reworked search experience with a focus on customization and accuracy. Google is bringing in three new features beginning with search suggestions.
For Google Chat, users will soon see search-query suggestions in the service's search bar. The company sees this as a way of providing important messages, files, and more for users on their mobile devices quickly.
On the Gmail side of things, Google is bringing in a new way for users to search using Gmail labels. Users will now be able to search for emails within a specific label, allowing them to better hone in on their search. Users will additionally have the option of using search chips in the Gmail search bar to refine their label searches even more.
