Daily Search Forum Recap: June 28, 2022
Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web.

Here is a screenshot of this that I can replicate – no you cannot click on the word “tab” but using tab on your keyboard does do the work. - Mundo Bita At Google Brazil Office
