What is the Native Search ad format?

You know those fake Google search bars or app screenshots that mimic the look of someone actually searching for something? That's Native Search — it taps into the familiar muscle memory of typing a query or browsing an interface, so it feels less like an ad and more like a moment you've already lived. Brands use it to make shopping or discovery feel effortless, especially when they want to show off a product catalog or suggest that what you're looking for is just one search away.
