Google is once again testing a new share button and icon for search results pages. Previously, the company experimented with a paperclip icon to indicate sharing options, but now a button labeled “share” is appearing, including within AI Mode results.
This new share button is positioned at the top right corner of the search results, next to the settings icon. An individual named Punit first shared a screenshot of this feature on X, indicating that the button is being tested on certain searches:
A developer named Brodie Clark also managed to replicate this feature and posted additional screenshots, showing the share icon in action. These visuals highlight the new design compared to the older, paperclip-based icon previously used.
Google’s earlier share option was represented by a paperclip icon, which was used to copy links to the clipboard for sharing purposes.
Additionally, Google is testing a dedicated share icon specifically for the AI Mode results. The label “Share public link” is used, emphasizing that sharing conversations or interactions from these AI features will make those exchanges public—a point that may concern users. The intent appears to be clarity around privacy and sharing parameters.
A screenshot shared by Sachin Patel demonstrates this new AI share feature, highlighting the importance Google places on transparency when users share AI interactions. These updates signal ongoing changes aimed at improving the clarity and usability of sharing functionalities across search results and AI modes.
