Google Search Generative Experience (SGE) is currently in its experimental phase and access is limited. However, here are the general steps on how to potentially experience it:
Join the waitlist: Google has a waitlist for SGE, which you can join to express your interest. You’ll need a Google account to do this. [Citation: “Search Labs” – Google: ]
Check Eligibility: If selected, you’ll receive an email notification. Make sure your Google account is eligible. Currently, it’s limited to users in the US and those using the Google app on Android and iOS or the Chrome desktop browser.
Opt-in to SGE: Once you’re in, you’ll see an option to enable SGE in your Search settings. Turn it on to start seeing AI-powered summaries at the top of some of your search results.
Search as Usual: When you search for something, SGE might generate an overview at the top, summarizing information from various web pages. You can then explore further by clicking on links within the summary or asking follow-up questions.
Key Points to Remember:
SGE is Experimental: The experience is still under development, and the features and availability may change.
Not All Searches Trigger SGE: SGE won’t appear for every search. It’s designed to provide overviews for informational queries where it can synthesize useful information.
Provide Feedback: Google encourages users to provide feedback to help improve the SGE experience. You’ll see options to give thumbs up/down or provide more detailed feedback.
