Google Web…

Google has introduced a new "Web" search option alongside its usual tabs like Images, News, Shopping, and Maps. This tab focuses solely on text-based results, excluding images, videos, shopping products, maps, and other modern additions to Google search. This move aims to provide a more traditional text-focused search experience.

The new "Web" tab addresses complaints from both users and website owners about Google's search results becoming cluttered with auto-generated content and modules. These additions keep users on Google's search page, reducing traffic to actual websites. Website owners have long criticized Google for allowing low-quality sites to dominate search results through SEO manipulation.

The introduction of the "Web" tab is seen as an attempt to return to the basics of search, filtering out distractions and providing users with straightforward text results. However, its visibility in Google's interface is currently limited, leading to suggestions that it should be made more prominent. The rollout of this feature is ongoing, aiming to provide a simpler, text-focused search option amidst concerns about Google's increasingly cluttered search results.
