Bech32 is a bitcoin address format specified by BIP 0173. It is used for the native segwit version 0 output types, P2WPKH and P2WSH. The upcoming Taproot softfork will add another output type called Pay to Taproot (P2TR). P2TR outputs and future native segwit versions will be using an updated variant of Bech32, called Bech32m (specified by BIP 0350). This page tracks the adoption of Bech32 and Bech32m.
Ideally wallets and services would first support sending to new addresses. When most wallets and services support sending to the new address type, people are more likely to adopt it for receiving.
The amount of bech32 addresses on the blockchain is tracked on this website: https://p2sh.info/dashboard/db/bech32-statistics?orgId=1

Some blockchain explorers can only parse the bech32 address and display it, they don't build an index so users cannot search for bech32 addresses.
