Google will put an end to its historical way of displaying the results of its users’ searches through pages. From now on the company’s search engine will have a new system that will allow continuous scrolling down to view the results.
This change in the design and the way in which the search engine operates is something significant since it is rare for the company to make changes of this magnitude without making it known in advance.
In the case of the users who use Google from mobile devices, the modification should not represent any change since they already have a scroll down system which only stops when they reach a set number of results. At that point, the search engine shows a tab called “See more” which, when pressed, allows more results to be loaded.
For their part, those who use the search engine on computers will be able to view the equivalent to about six pages of results. However, this will only be available to those in the United States.
“Starting today, we are bringing seamless scrolling to the desktop in English in the US so you can easily continue to see more search results. When you get to the end of a search results page, you can now see up to six pages of results”, they indicated from Google.
