Google has embarked on a new experiment within its Search Labs program, launching a feature called “Notes” that allows users to view and contribute comments on specific search results and Discover articles. This addition aims to collect knowledge directly from people as a reference tool while allowing them to communicate their experiences.
How does it work
Once enabled in Search Labs, the Notes button appears below certain Discover results and content. Tapping it reveals comments left by others on that page. Users can also create their own notes to share their knowledge with the community.
Notes can include text, images, stickers, and other customizable elements. Google plans to soon also integrate AI-produced images into notes. Each note is ranked based on relevance to the query and the content of the page.
Interact and moderate
People can post public comments on specific web pages that appear in search results. A social component allows users to like other people’s notes. Posted notes show the user’s profile image and name to other Google users, keeping personal data private.
Content that reminds searchers to keep “friendly and helpful” notes is displayed by default. Moderation occurs and certain inappropriate pages cannot have notes, including medical, adult or violent content.

Publisher Benefits and Concerns
Notes aims to complement current web content by incorporating human insights into the results, potentially uncovering local tips or modified recipes. Publishers care about the feature, but Google aims to provide information about notes and page content.
In short, Notes brings an innovative dimension to search through user contributions and shared knowledge. While it allows for new participation, it also requires moderation and transparency from publishers as it evolves.
