The phrase “Your next question will start a new search” is a system notification built into Google’s AI Mode and AI Overviews. It signals that the AI has reached its maximum context limit or has automatically reset your conversational history. Why This Message Triggers
Context Window Limits: When you are deep into a conversation or “cooking up lore”, the system runs out of active memory for that specific session. It forces a hard reset to keep performance stable.
Sensitive or Restricted Topics: Users on the Google Support Forums note that this message frequently pops up when queries drift into politics, medical queries, or legal advice. The AI is programmed to cut the conversation short rather than provide ongoing advice on protected topics.
System Timeouts: If you leave the “Ask anything” chat box open for too long without interacting, Google treats your next prompt as a brand-new search execution rather than a follow-up question. The Rest of the String Explained

Saved time: Part of Google’s promotional copy highlighting how AI Mode uses agentic capabilities to handle multi-step processes—like parsing ticket prices or scanning the web—to save you time.
<!–TgQPHd: This is a stray piece of broken HTML source code (specifically an unclosed HTML comment tag). When web scrapers or user interfaces accidentally copy text directly from Google’s frontend script, these hidden background layout tags leak into the copied clipboard text.
