Google is making it a regular feature, it is now showcasing the biggest search algorithm changes it makes in a round up. In the past two weeks, Google has made several improvements and changes that should improve the quality of results.

For example, it can now label sites as "parked domains" for the ones it determines are just filled with ads without any actual useful content. This should make it harder for these sites to rank.

Google is also making some changes to the way it introduces related query results, specifically, it is going to emphasize more the pages that contain the entire original query, rather than the ones that Google determines are related or similar.

The search engine is also improving the autocomplete predictions, by tapping into a greater pool of suggestions for some queries. Google's blog post has a longer list of notable changes in the past couple of weeks.
