Google tests bottom search bar redesign on Android, bringing material 3 elements

Google is once again tinkering with the design of its app for Android users. The latest experiment involves a bottom search bar redesign, a feature initially introduced in 2021 and later revamped in late 2023. This time, Google is testing a Material 3 bottom bar redesign with an integrated search field. This update incorporates Material 3 elements, including a pill-shaped tab indicator, previously seen on the iOS version but abandoned on Android.
