We know many, including researchers, value seeing previous versions of webpages when available. That’s why beginning today, we're adding links to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine to our "About this result" panel, to give quick context & make this helpful info easily accessible via Search.

Good talking and answering questions about Google Search with those at the Google Product Experts Summit today!

Hello Torino. Look forward to talking to people at the Google booth tomorrow and Saturday at WordCamp.

There's an ongoing issue with serving some features in Google Search, including some results on Google News, Discover and other products. We've identified the issue and we're working on a fix. status.search.google.com/incidents/6x...

We’ve launched a new “Web” filter that shows only text-based links, just like you might filter to show other types of results, such as images or videos. The filter appears on the top of the results page alongside other filters or as part of the “More” option, rolling out today and tomorrow globally…

AI Overviews will begin rolling out to everyone today in the US, with more countries coming soon. They provide both a quick overview of a topic and links to learn more. We’ve found that with AI Overviews, people use Search more, and are more satisfied with their results. blog.google/products/sea...

Generative AI in Search: Let Google do the searching for you

We’re bringing AI Overviews to everyone in the U.S. and adding new gen AI experiences to take more of the legwork out of searching.

Today I wanted to share about the belief that there is some type of “perfect page” formula that must be used to rank highly in Google Search. There isn't, and no one should feel they must work to some type of mythical formula....

Last week, I gave a presentation about Google Search results not being perfect, how we update to improve those results, and how our guidance to creators needs to improve. In this thread, I’ll share my slides and commentary for those who weren’t able to attend my talk…

Today, we’re introducing new improvements to Search to find the information that’s most helpful for you, no matter how specific your question. Learn more: blog.google/products/sea...
