Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web.

Recently, I’ve been complaining that Google is linking many of its search features back to more search results, this is also includes the AI Overviews. Well, Bing Search is also doing this for some of their AI-based answer snippets.

We felt this set a horrible message but hey, Google did not, instead, Google made it an official feature of AI Overviews because it helps “people more easily explore topics and discover relevant websites,” the company told me.

Google is testing a new ad format that overlays more product ads when you click on a “more” button. This is different from expanding a product carousel, in that this overlays on top of the current search results interface.

Google will stop showing reviews and ratings on school listings in Google Search and Google Maps.
