Elevated CPC inflation costs don’t have to stifle success.

Google has these latest styles and shop the look carousels for some clothing queries. Now when you swipe through the carousel, Google will dynamically change the products listed below them.

Google has a confirmed bug with using negative search operators, a way to exclude words from your search results, within Google Shopping. Danny Sullivan, the Google Search Liaison, confirmed the issue on X saying, “We did have a bug where it wasn’t working within some shopping results. That might not be resolved yet.”

Bing is testing replacing its search pagination bar at the footer of the search results with a “next page” button and a “refresh” button. This is instead of showing the number of pages of search results that you can click on.

Bing Search’s sitelinks can sometimes be expanded to see sub-sitelinks, deeper level sitelinks. This is something Google experimented from time to time but something Bing Search does on mobile right now, at least for me.
