Starting today, users will see a new feature in Google Search Results. To help people evaluate information & understand where it’s coming from, the About this result feature will be available in all languages where Search is available in the coming days.
Next to most results on Google, you’ll begin to see a menu icon that you can tap to learn more about the result or feature & where the information is coming from, says Google. With this additional context, you can make a more informed decision about the Sites you may want to visit & what results will be most useful for you.
When available, you’ll see a description of the Website from Wikipedia, which provides free, reliable information about tens of millions of Sites on the Web. Based on Wikipedia’s open editing model, which relies on thousands of global volunteers to add Content, these descriptions will provide the most up-to-date verified & sourced information available on Wikipedia about the Site. If it’s a Site you haven’t heard of before, that additional information can give you context, especially if you’re looking for something important, like health or financial information.
