There’s nothing more worrisome on the web than not being able to find exactly what you’ve searched for. And to help with issues circulating around that very theme, Google is launching a new feature.
The search engine giant unveiled how its quoted searches would soon be arising in bold. The move is designed to help users witness their most relevant searches first, before getting lost in the wide amount of information scattered across their screens.
The new tweak to the tech giant's quote searches is sure to add a great degree of effectiveness when searching for a certain result.
But for now, it’s going to be limited to searches on desktops only, although the firm does plan on expanding the initiative further to mobile devices soon.
Hence, the next time users end up making a quoted search on their PC, the term questioned would be highlighted in bold for greater prominence when it arrives in the search results pages.
You can specifically find the bold text in the snippets preview version of the page on Google that the company would portray under every search result.
The company announced the decision via its blog post that was published yesterday. Here, Google elaborated on how it wished to make things simpler for users' search queries, and for that, they’re bolding their queried searches.
The change will take place after users press on the link and go to visit that particular content in question.
In case you might not be aware, quoted searches are for those occasions when a user wants a particular search result to include a specific term, sentence, or even a phrase. To put it simply, many see it as a great tool that really narrows down your searches when a regular Google search fails to find results that users might be in search of.
In the past, Google prevented itself from highlighting text observed in certain quoted searches. And that was related to the fact that the text quoted could be found in other parts of the page. Hence, it wouldn’t end up producing the most helpful reviews or little snippets of where the information could be found.
Developers agreed and felt that it just would affect the entire readability factor as irrelevant snippets would pop up showing the term in different areas of any web page.
On that note, Google worked hard and finally found a solution, keeping in mind input from its loyal users.
It spoke about all the feedback that it had received regarding its quoted searches. People wanted to see where their quoted terms popped up across a page as it added more value and ease to their search.
This was much more user-friendly and had a great readability factor when compared to a simple summary of what the page was all about.
Now we hope users don’t expect every single term mentioned in their query or quote to be bold on the web page because that’s very difficult.
Google adds that it would also be searched for the highlighted term in the description text, ALT area for text, and the Meta too.
Hence, if you like the sound of that, go ahead and try it out on your desktop computers today.
