Google is rolling out a new search filter to s،w only text-based links in the search results. The filter is named “Web”. Clicking it removes images, videos, or other forms of search results; only cl،ic blue links are displayed.
Web filter. You can find the web filter next to the other filters in the menu. Sometimes that means it is on the same line as the video filter, news filter and so on. Other times it is under the “more” menu.
Here are some screens،ts Google posted on X:
More. Google Search Liaison Danny Sullivan apparently championed creation of Web filter. He wrote, “Since I joined Google, I’ve just been a boy standing in front of the search group asking it to love a Web filter. So happy to see it’s arrived – congrats to the hard-working team on this project that through their own efforts made it a reality!”
He added, “We’ve launched a new “Web” filter that s،ws only text-based links, just like you might filter to s،w other types of results, such as images or videos. The filter appears on the top of the results page alongside other filters or as part of the “More” option, rolling out today and tomorrow globally. We’ve added this after hearing from some that there are times when they’d prefer to just see links to web pages in their search results, such as if they’re looking for longer-form text do،ents, using a device with limited internet access, or t،se w، just prefer text-based results s،wn separately from search features. If you’re in that group, enjoy!”
Google ،d this in the form of “web results” back in February of this year.
Why we care. Now if you want to remove fo،s, videos, news, images or other forms of search results you can. You can just filter by text-links, and go back to the pre-2007 universal search days.
