Google to add a label to fast changing search results

28 Jun 2021

Google has said that some search results will now show a notice for a topic that is rapidly evolving and a range of sources hasn't yet weighed in. The notice will indicate that it may be best to check back later when more information from a wider range of sources might be available.

Sometimes the reliable information you’re searching for just isn’t online yet. This can be particularly true for breaking news or emerging topics, when the information that’s published first may not be the most reliable.

"Since last year, we’ve had similar notices that let you know when Google hasn’t been able to find anything that matches your search particularly well. With our recently-launched About This Result panel, you can also quickly find information about sources you find on Google Search and better determine if they’re likely to provide helpful or trustworthy information. 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," Google said.
