Google Search is a web search engine owned by Google Inc. By default, Google Search uses a color scheme to match your device. Still, you can manually override this to apply dark mode on Google Search. When you enable dark mode on Google search, it will potentially reduce eye strain and use less energy so that your phone battery will last longer.
FYI! Once you set the dark theme on Google search, it will be applied to the Google homepage, search results page, and Google settings page.
