Gmail introduces AI tool to enhance email search

Google has introduced a new AI-driven feature for Gmail’s search function, designed to enhance email search results.

The “most relevant” option evaluates factors such as recency, popular emails, and frequent contacts, alongside traditional keyword searches.

This update is being rolled out globally to users with personal Google accounts.

It will be available on web browsers and the Gmail apps for Android and iOS.

Users will be able to switch between the new “most relevant” results and the standard keyword-based results.
