Google wants to help users better access reliable information sources on the internet

In particular, the key aspect that Google aims to help users evaluate and better access to reliable information sources in the online space.

Specifically, Google will soon apply changes to the way information about the data sources users are accessing is displayed. For example, the 'About This Result' feature will be updated to be able to provide more detailed information about a particular website. Thereby, users can estimate somewhat the 'reliability' of the website.

Currently, this feature tells users when the site was first indexed, whether the connection to the site is secure, and the description from Wikipedia. But with the new update, users will see more of the site's description, as well as other users' reviews and ratings for that site. This is a very important aspect in assessing the reliability and quality of a website.

In the event that Google does not have more information about the site, the user will be notified of that as well.

Alternatively, you can also click on 'About the topic' to learn more about a certain topic through relevant news and results.

In some cases, the information you want may not be available at that exact time. News and information can move quickly, this is normal. Google will display a message advising you to check back later, or try performing search queries on a related topic.

The new features mentioned above, along with a few other small additions, are expected to be rolled out by Google over the next few weeks. The ultimate goal is nothing but improving the quality of search on Google Search engine.
