In June, Google launched the views search filter within the cell search outcomes. Now, Google is testing that filter inside the desktop search outcomes.

As a reminder, the views search filter gives you lengthy and short-form movies, pictures and written posts that folks have shared on dialogue boards, Q&A websites and social media platforms. Google can even present extra particulars concerning the creators of this content material, reminiscent of their identify, profile photograph, or details about the recognition of their content material.

This was noticed by Ethan Lazuk who despatched me some screenshots over X, right here they’re:

This characteristic was initially demoed at Google I/O, the primary time we noticed Google testing the views search filter was in early Might.

We additionally noticed Google exhibiting featured snippets views early on, however Google launched them with out the identify views.

I assume Google desires to see if searchers will use this on desktop search, as they anticipate on cell search.
