This might be great and all but I am still miffed at how simple search on AI Studio is. You can only search the titles of your conversations and nothing inside them. On top of that they messed with the scrolling so Ctrl+F doesn't work reliably.
Yeah, it’s surprising, Claude Desktop has had project files since decades which are chunked/indexed and automatically injected into your context based on the topic.
You’d think this would be fairly obvious for Google to do, but it’s probably an organizational problem rather than a technical one.
The search in Gemini app in the browser is so embarrassingly bad that I get an impression that nobody of importance in Google must be using it otherwise they would have fixed long ago.
There's decent evidence in the HCI literature that internal dogfooding breaks down at scale — teams use polished internal builds, not the same degraded experience shipping to users. As far as I can tell, that's likely what's happening here.
Stripe had the same problem in 2015, spend caps added two years later after enough enterprise escalations. At least Google took less time. The 10min delay sounds like a rate-limiting workaround someone hacked in.
It’s a striking irony that the world's leader in search is receiving so much heat for poor search functionality and UX within its own flagship AI products
One of Googles core problems is internal silos of talent. The search team has likely never interacted with the Gemini app team or perhaps even the Gemini app.
For all intents and purposes Google Gemini is a totally separate company from Google search.
But does the search team's expertise even transfer? Retrieval over web-scale crawls vs. retrieval over user-uploaded docs are pretty different problems — different latency tolerances, corpus characteristics, everything.
The race for unstructured data continues. It feels like everyone is trying to crack unstructured data extraction with the underlying goal of ultimately using AI to classify and tag insights from unstructured data to create a structured data/graphs for agents to consume and traverse.
