Google has made a major upgrade to Gmail search function and introduced artificial intelligence technology to optimize search results. The new features will take into account factors such as recent, click frequency and contact usage to help users find the emails they need faster. Previously, Gmail search only displayed emails with keywords in chronological order. Google said the update will make the emails users are looking for more likely to appear at the top of search results, saving time and helping to find important information more easily.
In addition to the new "most relevant" default sorting method, Google has also added a toggle switch that allows users to choose between "most relevant" and traditional "latest" sorting method. The update has been launched for users of individual Google accounts around the world, supports web versions and Android and iOS versions of Gmail applications, and is planned to expand to commercial users in the future.
This update is part of Google's continuous improvement of Gmail services, aiming to enhance its competitiveness with Apple's mail app. Recently, Gmail has also launched a number of innovative features, such as Gemini-supported calendar event additions, inbox "summary cards" and in-app Gemini chat functionality, allowing users to directly discuss their inbox content.
