As Google prioritizes in improving users experience with rich and relevant information for their searches and improving the visibility of ecosystem participants they are rolling out new search features across European Economica Area. This is a part of Google’s initiative to comply with European Union’s Digital Markets Act.

This feature allows users to scroll horizontally through tiles where they can find additional information like prices, ratings, and images. Meantime they are testing  carousel for shopping queries in Germany, France, Czechia, and the UK.
  • The next feature is they implement direct links to content from aggregator websites (place, job, flight and product websites) in top search results and also adding refinement chips that allow searchers to narrow down results to specific types of content.
  • They are also testing new feature related to Flight Searches; this exclusive feature enables to displays airline website results in a separate unit, allowing users to find flight details more easily.
