Love it, kudos! This is great for developers and others who Just Need Answers and not shopping or entertainment.

If you're looking for feedback, both from a UI design and utility standpoint, you might consider "inlining" results from selected sites, e.g. Wikipedia, stacked change, etc. Having worked on search for a long time, inlining (onebox etc) is a big reason users choose Google, and that channelers fail to get traction. If you're Serious(tm), dog into the publisher structure formats and format those, create a test suite, etc.

A word of caution: if this takes off, as a business it's vulnerable to Google shifting its algorithms slightly to identify the segment of users+queries who prefer these results and give the same results to those queries.

Hope this helps!



If Google starts showing interesting text-heavy links instead of vapid listicles and storefronts, I have accomplished everything I ever could dream of.


Google Info - for when you're looking for information, not shopping advice or lists!


Maybe you're joking, but this is a good idea for search engine. Better: Credible info.


Google info? Can you give me a sample query of what you mean?


It was a joke. The joke being that Google should launch at new product called Google Info, that would actually give you information when you search.


Haha, reminds me exactly of this.

You can check the Web Vitals score of Google SERP-s using Core SERP Vitals (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/core-serp-vitals/o...) and filter out the worst results.


Thank you for doing this important work.


haha, great answer! thanks for your work on this :)
