In theory, this will make the results more useful by offering a slightly human perspective, such as reviews of recipe links or advice on travel-related queries, so people can better find the information they need. Notes is currently available for early testing to a small group of users who have signed up for Google Search Labs.

Detail

Search Labs is an area where Google tests new features that may appear on the search engine if it receives positive feedback from users. For those who sign up and agree to the Notes trial, a “Notes” button will appear in Search, and when you click it, you’ll see all the ideas other users have shared about this article. You can also add your own and decorate them with stickers, photos, and eventually (US users only) AI-generated images.

When you view a note, you can like it, share it, save it for later, and submit it to Google for review.

While community annotations may seem like a recipe for disaster in an age of rampant misinformation and trolling, especially around AI images, Google says it will “use a combination of algorithmic protections and human moderation to ensure the annotations are as safe, useful, and relevant as possible,” while also preventing them from being harmful or offensive. Protect from content.”

The company is also looking at ways to let site owners annotate their own pages.

This is just a test for now, and users will have the opportunity to provide feedback based on their Notes experiences.
