Users noticed that Google is testing a new design of the block "top stories". It looks like this:

google-in-the-news-card-no-image-1

This test is notable because it contains the elements of mobile design. The results in the block is presented in the form of cards. Do not include images.

Google also is testing another variant of the unit. In this version, the search results are presented in a carousel of separate cards, each containing a news headline and picture.

google-news-card

Google has started to bring elements of mobile design desktop results about two years ago. All these steps are designed to align the search results layout on mobile devices and desktop PCs.

URL parameters of the Google search engine results page

There is a possibility to adjust the results for the base query (which corresponds to the value of the parameter q or as_q ) using a number of get-parameters of the format variable=value used in the URL of the page of search results after the substring /search? . The use of these parameters can be very useful when parsing search results.
