Google Search on Android is adding a feature already available on iOS.

Even Google takes more time to add all features to the Android versions of its apps.
Once the new mode is activated, you can browse and select links, which will then open in incognito mode. If you choose to open a link in Chrome, the browser will also launch in incognito mode.
Another function available to iOS users of the Google app in incognito mode is more subtle. On iPhones, users can tap and hold their avatar to go incognito, a feature absent on Android.
The incognito toggle is not yet active on the Google app for Android but should be available in a future update.
It is unexpected that Apple would release an Android app lacking key features present on iOS. While an Incognito mode switch isn't innovative, it's odd that Google would launch it first on a rival OS. Android users may be disappointed by this discrepancy, even if it’s not the first instance of Google doing this.
