Daily Search Forum Recap: January 27, 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.
Google probably won’t be launching the page experience update and core web vitals label in search result snippets. Google is testing a new search refinement named people search next. Google is showing “updates from customers” prominently in the Google Maps business listings. Google has a bug with dark mode for some users. It is not a bad thing to have multiple verified profiles in Google Search Console.
Search Engine Roundtable Stories:
- Google Page Experience & Core Web Vitals Label Probably Won’t Go Live
In November 2020, Google said we may see a label for the Google page experience update show up in the search result snippets. Then in December 2020 we saw actual examples in the raw of Google testing this icon and label in the search results. In January 2021, Google said it might not go live and we didn’t know if it would go live. - Google Maps “Updates From Customers” A Nightmare For Business Listings?
Google has added to Google business profiles listings in the Google Maps interface a section named “updates from customers.” This seems to show some recent reviews from Google Local Guides and this might be a concern for some businesses where Google may highlight a review that might not be what you want your customers to see. - Stuck In Google Search Dark Mode Bug
There seems to be a bug that Google is working on where some searchers are getting left in the dark. Well, stuck in Google’s dark mode or dark theme setting and unable to go back to light theme. Google’s community manager, Minhaj K., said it is investigating the reports of this issue. - Multiple Google Search Console Properties For Same Site Is Okay
It is okay to have multiple properties verified for the same site in Google Search Console. It is not a bad thing, it won’t hurt you, in fact, it might give you more granular data to use if you do. In fact, John Mueller of Google confirmed it is fine to have multiple properties verified for the same site in Google Search Console. - Google “People Search Next” Search Refinements
Google has a new search refinement titled “people search next.” This is in addition to the related searches, the people also ask, the people also search for and the others. Here is a screenshot of this in action, but I found this via Saad AK on Twitter. - Polestar At GooglePlex
Here is a newish Polestar all electric car at the GooglePlex, the Google headquarters in Mountain View, California. It was posted on Instagram where they wrote Google’s Android Automotive OS was spec
Other Great Search Threads:
- This was a bug that affected some campaigns. It has been resolved and you should now see the Locations page in Google Ads., Ginny Marvin on Twitter
- Best solution to www. and non-www. duplication?, Reddit
- From our POV there’s nothing special about car dealerships – they’re websites, essentially. They can appear in various places in search., John Mueller on Twitter
- From our side, it’s just “not canonical” (or “known, but not canonical”) — the reasons can vary. The terminology is difficult, and I don’t blame anyone for not using the same words we use :). Tip for this: don’t t, John Mueller on Twitter
- I doubt the choice of font has a significant impact on the overall page experience metrics — but if you’re up for it, test it out and let us know!, John Mueller on Twitter
- In your example, you seemed concerned that one of the review sites linked doesn’t originate the reviews but instead has them from another place. The embedded stuf, Danny Sullivan on Twitter
- The index status report is for web-search, so it wouldn’t make sense to index images there. If we see normal img-tags & can tell from the URL that it’s an image, we usually don’t even try to index them in web-sea, John Mueller on Twitter
- Ugh. Folks are still abusing Domain Authority (DA), a metric I created many years ago at Moz. Even though I haven’t worked there for 4 years, I still feel some residual pride & guilt in the popularity (and imperfection) of t, Rand Fishkin on Twitter
- Yes. If the JS files are blocked by robots.txt, we don’t fetch them, and can’t use them for rendering / indexing. (Which also reduces the load on the JS/API, so sometiems they do i, John Mueller on Twitter

Google Search Testing More Card Box Like Buttons In Search

Google is testing more card and box-like elements in the search results. We covered this with the product results interface a few weeks back but now we are seeing them for other elements.
Here are screenshots shared with me of these designs:

Microsoft Bing Search Features & Tests

Here is another batch of Microsoft Bing Search tests and features that were caught out in the wild that I wanted to share with you. They include sorting, filtering, carousels, animations, related content and maybe even some bugs?
(1) Sorting results by more parameters:
Bing test search filter to sort results by time period at the bottom of the search result.
You may already seen this at the top of the search result.@MSBing_Dev @rustybrick pic.twitter.com/Wc1AzUxHuV— Shameem Adhikarath (@shemiadhikarath) January 20, 2023
(2) Related videos under the video results:

(5) I am not sure what this is about:
Anyone else notice the @bing mouse logger script running on their search results? @facan it seems to be running and collecting data even if you don’t accept Microsoft’s privacy policy… @BingWMC is the data going to you? pic.twitter.com/3zuPeMnQIS

The Return Of Yahoo Search

Last week I reported that Yahoo Search posted on Twitter that it will be making search cool again. As I posted on Search Engine Land yesterday, we got more evidence that Yahoo is really moving forward with improving its search service.
Last night, Jim Lanzone, the CEO of Yahoo (more about him below), responded to Greg Sterling and myself about Yahoo getting into search:
Greg, I think you and Barry know – there are always new ways around the mountain. No reason to go straight at it. But we’re excited to start exploring again…and will be patient figuring it all out.
— Jim Lanzone (@jlanzone) January 31, 2023
So yes, we got that tweet that I covered last week, followed by a number of other tweets:
Just popping in to remind everyone that we did search before it was cool.
BRB making it cool again.
— Yahoo Search (@YahooSearch) January 20, 2023
But we got a lot more – we have a job listing for a Principal Product Manager, Yahoo Search. The job listing says, “We’re looking for a Product Manager for Search at Yahoo. We are looking for folks that are interested in pushing beyond the status quo to change the way folks interact and use search.”
Jim Lanzone, who was the CEO of Ask.com and worked for several years for Ask.com (previously Ask Jeeves), who is now the CEO at Yahoo. He is a search guy, originally, and I do suspect he will want to do big things again with search. Under Jim, Ask released some incredibly innovative features, like Ask 3D – which Google kind of ripped off with its Universal Search – as some say… So I think, Yahoo Search, under Jim Lanzone might be an interesting Yahoo Search to look at.
As I also said on Search Engine Land, Brian Provost, SVP & GM, Yahoo posted on LinkedIn about this job listing and wrote, “There’s going to be so much innovation in Search in the coming years and there aren’t many places where you can immediately have an impact this big. Would love to hear from you if you have a passion for Search and building product experiences.”
This is exciting – I suspect it will take a year or so to see anything – but I am looking forward to it.
