Google Rolls Out 1st Play Labs Feature to Expand Search Results by Default

Summary
Some Google Play Store users are now seeing “Expand everything,” the first experimental feature under the new Play Labs menu, which automatically opens app search-result cards by default.
The toggle changes the existing arrow behavior: instead of tapping to reveal more app details, users see expanded listings immediately and can tap the arrow to collapse them.
Play Labs lets users switch the feature on or off from Play Store settings, signaling Google is testing optional interface changes rather than forcing a permanent redesign.
The rollout still appears limited rather than wide, suggesting a phased release as Google begins using Play Labs to trial new Play Store features.
