Google has made changes in its search page with an addition of a new section called "in-depth articles," making it easier for users to find what they are looking for.
Internet has become the largest means of communicating, learning and finding answers to any topic. Google, world's largest search engine, has become the default choice of search page for most people. The web giant has offered many services since it was launched in 1997. Google receives several hundred million queries each day and the company plans to make it easier for users to find the most relevant answers.
Google announced Tuesday a new section in the search results page called "in-depth articles." As the name suggests, Google will bring the best in-depth articles to the top of the search results page.
"Our research indicates perhaps 10 percent of people's daily information needs fit this category -- topics like stem cell research, happiness, and love, to name just a few," Google's Pandu Nayak wrote in a blog post. "That's why over the next few days we'll be rolling out a new feature to help you find relevant in-depth articles in the main Google Search results."
Google's in-depth feature is not a new addition to its search page, but already available in the News section. Google sorts highly-cited and in-depth articles based on its algorithms for each trending news topic.
Google displays in-depth articles based on its own algorithms, which shows high quality articles, blogs and papers on the top. That being said, Nayak sketched some tips for developers that can help them to bring their content in Google's "in-depth articles" section. Some tips include, providing authorship markups, information about a company's logo, and using certain codes for paginated articles.
Google also noted that on a subscription-based website, the search giant may not fully be able to access the site's most relevant information, failing to display their content on search results. A suggestion to such websites is to implement "First Click Free."
The new section only appears in google.com in English and includes limited topics, but the company promises to include articles from several unique news publications.
