The Google domain was registered on September 15, 1997 so you should change the creation date to that DumbAAC7784 ( talk) 22:48, 10 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Thank you DumbAAC7784 ( talk) 18:53, 11 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Reverted this change. Registering a domain is not equivalent to launching a website. Google Search was originally hosted under a different domain on Stanford's servers, and before that was active as BackRub. IceWelder [ ✉] 19:50, 8 September 2022 (UTC) reply

I think that the Safesearch part should be added to or removed entirely as it currently does not add to this article. I would add it but I have not made enough edits.

Thanks,

Many reliable sources are writing about the functioning of Google Search in the wake of United States v. Google LLC (2020), see also Megan Gray. This should help add information about the quality of search results, which is a familiar topic. Nemo 17:09, 7 November 2023 (UTC) reply

Suggestion for addition to the Search Generative Experience section

Google have now extended testing of Search Generative Experience into 2024, having originally had an end date of December 2023 - https://uk.pcmag.com/ai/150145/google-quietly-extends-testing-of-ai-generated-search-results Majortony866 ( talk) 16:02, 20 December 2023 (UTC) reply

I like to capture the history of each algorithm update as per this image and other sources available online.

I like to include a section “Major Google Algorithms” after “ search results” heading. In that, I like to talk about how Google's algorithm evolved from 1998 to 2024. I like to capture everything inside a table with appropriate sources.

Searching for 'TSPR' I was redirected to this article. No explanation. No disamiguation page. The term 'TSPR' does not occur within the article. What am I to make of this? Actually, this and similar things happen quite often in the Wikipedia. (E. g. following a link in one article to another article yields no explanation to how or why I'm being led to this other article. A search for the term displayed in the link yields no result.) Korinthus ( talk) 15:06, 19 May 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Korinthus: I did a little digging on this. The acronym comes from this page (since redirected to Google Search): Topic-Sensitive PageRank, which has history. You can read more there. The current iteration of the main article doesn't mention TSPR at all, so WP:RFD may be an option. Jip Orlando ( talk) 17:16, 21 May 2024 (UTC) reply

I've retargeted the redirect, along with Topic-Sensitive PageRank, to PageRank, which is a more appropriate (albeit equally undesirable) target. I've tagged both with {{ R to article without mention}} but would also support taking this to RfD. Pinging @ Samuel Wiki, who WP:BLAR'd the redirect back in 2019, for comment.
