After introducing them on mobile search in October, Google has now made the site names, revised favicons, and sponsored labels available on desktop search. Since last November, Google has been testing the desktop version; as of today, both the desktop and mobile versions are online.

Here is a screenshot of the new Sitename and updated favicon in desktop search - note, the old interface just had the URL, not the site name or the favicon:



Chime in.

  • I think those who have attractive favicons will get more clicks I suspect.
  • I personally don't like it, it smells like a Tik-Tok era thing. Now gotta put favicons.ico on all sites, more work

  • I like this update! It's more visually appealing in my opinion.
  • I have a short memory, need side-by-side images to see a difference.


    I've been seeing what you show for months now, have no recollection of how things used to look, just that they looked different.


    I guess, what I'm saying is: you shouldda asked me a few months ago.
