The plus menu expands the tool’s functionality to support image uploads, document analysis, and AI-generated artwork creation from within the same overlay window.

The floating bar resembles Spotlight Search or PowerToys Run and includes a plus menu to upload images, analyze documents, and create artwork from the pop-up window.

The interface uses an AI-powered Do “Ask anything” field as the default interaction while traditional web searches remain possible.

Google is testing a floating AI search bar prototype called Everywhere Omnibox (internal codename Project Loom) that runs independently of the Chrome browser window on desktop.

The feature, revealed in Chrome Canary, separates the URL bar from the Chrome window and brings up a centered AI search UI with a keystroke.

Code-named Project Loom, it aims to route queries directly into Google’s AI tools with AI as the default search option.

A plus menu in the floating window enables uploading images, document analysis, and AI-generated artwork directly from the pop-up without leaving the overlay.

The new UI presents AI as the default search option with an “Ask anything” field, while conventional web searches stay available as before.

The concept consolidates search, file inspection, and AI-driven content creation into one overlay window on the desktop.

It resembles a desktop Spotlight-like experience, centralizing web search and AI capabilities in a single interface.

The goal is to integrate search, file inspection, and content creation into one desktop-overlay window, differentiating from similar features in Microsoft Edge.

The feature presents a standalone, centered search interface with an AI-powered “Ask anything” prompt and traditional autocomplete, enabling direct access to Google’s AI tools without opening a separate site or sidebar.
