Popularity of Food Recipes in Google Search
One of the most searched terms on Google are food recipes, which is a way for us to find that perfect dish to impress our friends or relatives. We often favor articles that are rich in visuals to achieve this.
The Challenge of Searching for Recipes on Google
However, the issue with searching for a recipe on Google is that sometimes there is excessive text, with the images—key to understanding the dish’s progress—being harder to access.
Google Tests New Feature for Better User Experience
Fortunately, Google is testing a new feature within its food recipe search results to enhance user experience. They are introducing slider controls directly on the recipe images, allowing users to scroll through additional pictures from the recipe article.
Direct Visual Reference Points Within Search Results
This feature will provide users with direct visual reference points, displaying various stages and angles of the dish right within the search results.
Benefits of Additional Images in Recipe Search
These additional images can offer close-up views of the ingredients, illustrate specific cooking techniques, or showcase how the finished dish should be presented.
Google’s Aim to Streamline Recipe Reference
Google believes that this will expedite the recipe referencing process while cooking, reducing the need to excessively scroll through an article.
Saving Time with a Clearer and Direct Understanding
This could save time for users by providing them with a clearer and more direct understanding of how the dishes are assembled.
Feature Still in Testing Phase
However, this feature is currently in testing, which means it might not be seen in the Google search results immediately.
