Inside Search
The official Google Search blog
Give us your feedback on Search policies
August 23, 2013
If you use Google all the time and have ideas about how we could provide a better Search experience for our users, we want your help. Send us your best Search policy suggestions by filling out this
form
. Your ideas could have a direct impact on Google.
As part of the recently-launched How Search Works website, we published our
Search policy principles
and a list of detailed
Search content policies
for the first time. Our goal was to show users how we think about controversial content in Search while still promoting fast access to the world's information.
But we’re always looking to do better, and we’re curious to know what our users think. That’s why we’d love to see your ideas for improving our Search policies and processes. Should we alert users if we suspect that there's not much information on the web about their query? How should Google surface information that might affect a website's ranking? How should we deal with businesses that we believe may be hacked? Should we do something completely different to support our users? Anything related to how we serve content in search results or interact with users is fair game.
Now’s your chance to make an impact and have fun doing it, so put on your thinking hats. You can submit entries using this
form
. We’ll review all of the submissions and contact some of the best contributors to discuss their ideas.
Happy searching!
P.S. If you need some ideas to get you started, check out this presentation from SMX West about Google’s search policies called "
