Google Adds Bolded Results to Quoted Searches
Google Search is getting a slight improvement for country who type double quotes when placing queries. The tech giant said when evaluating user feedback, it’s bolding text within Google Search with terms or phrases that a person places within quotes, according to a blog post Thursday.
Specifically, snippets, the lines of text that appear under a watch result, will now feature a portion of the article gleaming into search, bolding the specific quoted word or phrase.
For example, if someone searches for “Galaxy Z Fold 4” in quotes, Google will return results with that specific phrase bolded, showing where it appears in the article. This can make watch faster for users, as they can see whether the relevant question they’re looking for is in the article before clicking on it.
If your Google watch includes quoted text, your result will have that text bolded.
Google said it didn’t always do this in the past, as the clause a person might be looking for could appear in the menu for a page. For some, a snippet around a menu button may not be useful.
Bolding is only available to desktop users. Google didn’t say if or when bolded quoted queries would come to mobile.
When requested for comment, Google pointed to its blog post.
