Google Images Enhances Display with Site Details in Search Results

Key Takeaways

  • Google Images shows more information with image search results.

  • Information includes website name, favicon, and page title.

Google Images now looks different when showing search results. When you search for images, you will see extra details about where each image is from.

The search results page displays the image itself. It also shows the name of the website where the image comes from and a small picture icon for that website.

There is a second line that tells you the title of the webpage that has the image.

Before this change, the search results only showed the image at first. Google had previously tested just showing the website name and icon.

People have shared pictures online of what the new Google Images layout looks like.

This is not the first time Google has made changes like this. About one year ago, Google tested showing the website name and icon next to images in the search results.

However, the new layout also adds the webpage title to the information displayed. People who are technology experts have discussed and shared information about this new change.
