Google is surfacing autocomplete suggestions inside the Ask Anything follow-up input within AI Mode, its conversational search experience. The behavior was caught by Brodie Clark, who shared a video on X on June 24, 2026, noting it was his first sighting of the new autocomplete display that Google announced at Google I/O.
Search Engine Roundtable reported the observation. Clark noted that Google’s I/O previews showed the autocomplete surfacing inside the main search bar, styled with color, and expected more development ahead. No confirmed wide rollout has been reported.
The placement matters for how search demand gets shaped. When autocomplete nudges users deeper into a follow-up conversation, the actual queries submitted inside AI Mode can diverge from the broad seed terms SEO teams track in traditional keyword tools. Teams monitoring AI Mode query patterns should note that in-conversation suggestions may drive a new layer of intent signals that standard search volume data will not capture.
