Google preparing for a broader search results on the new Pixel launcher

We have already seen a major redesign of Android via the Android 12, so we expect the new Android 13 might only bring new features and minor UI changes. However, Google might change the way we search on our Android devices with the new launcher soon. Yes, this change will not come with the Android 13, but before the stable launch of Android 13. These are just speculations for now, but through the leaks, it seems that Google is working on improving the search experience on the Pixel launcher.
