Google Search removes 'Export to Docs' feature

Google has quietly removed the 'Export to Docs-live-like-voice-upgrade-qz5ghp)' option from the three-dot menu in its AI search mode. This feature allowed users to gather information and explanations on complex topics and save them directly to Google Docs with just a few taps. The removal of this shortcut has frustrated many users who relied on it to turn their searches into editable documents.

## Why it matters The removal of this feature may signify a setback in the research experience for many users, who will now need to find more cumbersome alternatives to save their findings. The ability to quickly and efficiently export information to Google Docs was a strong point for those using the search engine for academic or professional tasks.

## What we know It has been confirmed that the 'Export to Docs' option has disappeared from both desktop and mobile versions of Google Search AI Mode. Users have attempted to revert to older versions of the Google app but have not been able to restore this feature. On the other hand, Gemini and NotebookLM still offer document export options, suggesting that Google has other platforms where this functionality remains available.

## What is still unclear Google has not provided any information on whether the export option in AI Mode will return in the future. Users are left waiting for clarification on this decision and the potential reintegration of the functionality they found so useful.
