A few hours ago, I searched Google looking for some updates for a certain application installed on my computer. So, I entered Google.com and I typed "update" in the search box. When the search engine results page was fully loaded, some new changes were more than obvious. As

you can see in the picture placed after the article, it seems like Google introduced multiple separators that look like a way to organize the search results. As far I can see, the results are now displayed on categories, my "update" search query organizing results on Windows, SQL and other products. Additionally, a new option is displayed among the search results, encouraging you to "search results for: update sql." Usually, this function was displayed at the bottom of the page and allowed you to search for certain information related to your keyword.

Although the company didn't confirm the test, the separators are displayed only for the "update" keyword typed on the main page of the company. It seems like this new feature does not only appear on the main search technology (Google.com) because it is now displayed on other regional versions of Google.

This is not the first time when Google tests a feature on its search engine but sometimes, the fate of SearchMash is useless. As you might know, SearchMash is a search technology developed by Google that was initially meant to test all the new features before they were included in the final product. As you know, Google provides numerous search technologies that allow you to search for almost everything available on the Internet including blogs, news, jobs, images, videos and many other types of information.
