Windows 10: New quick way to learn more about your Google search results

Brink · Feb 1, 2021

When you search for information on Google, you probably often come across results from sources that youâre familiar with: major retailer websites, national news sites and more.

But thereâs also a ton of great information on and services available from sites that you may not have come across before. And while you can always use Google to do some additional research about those sites, weâre working on a new way for you to find helpful info without having to do another search.

Starting today, next to most results on Google, youâll begin to see a menu icon that you can tap to learn more about the result or feature and where the information is coming from. With this additional context, you can make a more informed decision about the sites you may want to visit and what results will be most useful for you.

When available, youâll see a description of the website from Wikipedia, which provides free, reliable information about tens of millions of sites on the web. Based on Wikipediaâs open editing model, which relies on thousands of global volunteers to add content, these descriptions will provide the most up-to-date verified and sourced information available on Wikipedia about the site. If itâs a site you havenât heard of before, that additional information can give you context or peace of mind, especially if youâre looking for something important, like health or financial information.

If a website doesnât have a Wikipedia description, weâll show you additional context that may be available, such as when Google first indexed the site.

For the features Google provides to organize different types of information, like job listings or local business listings, youâll see a description about how Google sources that information from sites on the web, or from businesses themselves, and presents it in a helpful format.

Youâll also be able to quickly see if your connection to the site is secure based on its use of the HTTPS protocol, which encrypts all data between the website and the browser youâre using, to help you stay safe as you browse the web.

And if you need quick access to your privacy settings, or just want to learn a bit more about how Google Search works, links to resources are just a tap or click away.

Weâll begin rolling out this feature today in English in the U.S. on desktop, mobile web and the Google App on Android. We hope this makes it easier to learn about the results you see on Google and find the most helpful information for you.

Google Testing New Way to Search, Calls it 'Google Experimental'

Google seems to have been around for about as long as the internet, and provides a necessary function. When there's something on the internet you just cannot find, Google takes less than two tenths of a second to find it for you. However, some people seem to have become awful bored with the same old way of searching for results. And so, Google remedied this issue by re-doing the way the search engine works. Google Experimental, instead of just slapping results in a user's face, gives users a lot of different options as far as how to review the results.

Aside from a list, users can view a map of results or a timeline with results chronologically organized. From there users can apply special informational filters, to further pare down the information obtained.

Dan Crowe, production manager over at Google, put the changes in place to make the user base happy. If you want to make Mr.Crowe happy, simply head on over to Google and let Google know you want to run the Experimental search by default.

IE11 Google Toolbar no auto search suggestions, no search history?

Since the last Win 10 update my Google Toolbar won't list any search suggestions as I type and there is no search history listed. The Google tool bar will allow a search, but after a few searches no search history shows and no "clear search" button is listed either.

I have turnd on "Suggest searches as you type", and "store search histroy on my computer" in the Google Toolbar options.

Any suggestions to fix this?
