I *think* I'm opted in to SGE (I've had AI search for a good while now, and I use Bard and all that stuff). I don't see "generate" in the middle of my search results, though. Do you think access could be rolled out unevenly?

Unfortunately, SGE is one of the things I don't have access to myself (being in Europe isn't the best for AI). It's entirely possible that they have a staggered rollout just like OpenAI for new ChatGPT features.

For what it's worth, here's what I found about how to opt in to SGE: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/13572151?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid

See if there are any of the criteria listed that you don't fulfil?

I think I have all this done. I saw this at the top: "Important: Currently, Search Labs is available to a limited number of people in the US, India, and Japan. It’s only available in English, Hindi, and Japanese."

That probably explains it!

But you fulfil those criteria, no? Unless the "limited number of people" implies a subset within a subset. In any case, curious to hear about your experience when you get access to the new SGE bells n whistles.

I think they are pulling an Open AI here. They do this all the time with their features, rolling them out to subsets one at a time.
