Google will now tell you why you are seeing a specific search result

NEW DELHI: Earlier this year, Google introduced the ‘About this result’ feature which allows you to pull up information from Wikipedia about a website in your search results. This feature makes it easier to vet websites that you are not familiar with. Now the tech giant has made an addition to the feature.

The feature will now tell you why you are seeing this specific result. Along with the information about the ‘Source’ publication, you will now be able to see a ‘Your search and this result’ card placed at the bottom of ‘About this result’ when you tap on the overflow menu on the web and desktop. The feature will now offer additional background information about a website.
