Alphabet’s Google will now show its search engine users more information about why it found the results than what’s presently shown now, the company has said.
It said people googling queries will now be able to click into details such as how their result matched certain search terms, in order to better decide if the information is relevant, a Reuters report stated.
“Sometimes, the results you see in Search might not be quite what you’re looking for. Now, the About This Result panel will also spotlight useful search tips to help Google better understand what you’re trying to find. The panel will show you search techniques or settings you can use to modify your search to get the results you’re after.
“For example, if you usually search in English, but want to find results in a different language, or from a different region, About This Result makes it even easier to adjust your settings,” the company said in a blogspot.
Google has been making changes to give users more context about the results its search engine provides. Earlier this year it introduced panels to tell users about the sources of the information they are seeing. It has also started warning users when a topic is rapidly evolving and search results might not be reliable.
