Google announced multimodal-search reporting in Search Console on 24 September 2026. The reporting covers searches made through Lens, Circle to Search on Android, image uploads and Chrome’s image-search command.
A multimodal search-type filter provides access to the data in performance reports, including the Generative AI features report. Google said the rollout was beginning globally; metrics appear when a site receives traffic from these searches.
