Not a fan of Google’s AI Summaries? These 6 search engines are worth trying instead

Google is about to look very different, and if you are not a fan of AI Summaries, you may not like what is coming next.

At Google I/O 2026, the company announced a major overhaul of Search, pushing it toward a more conversational, AI-first experience. Google says the update is “the biggest upgrade” to Search in more than 25 years. Users will now see AI Mode directly inside Search, while AI Summaries will also become more interactive with follow-up chat options and AI agents capable of handling tasks like tracking concert tickets or monitoring price drops.
