SearchBot: I am trained with Search Engine Land content. Ask me anything!
Google is releasing a number of new features for its new Search Generative Experience today. Those features include SGE while browsing, definition overlays in the SGE responses, and color-coded with syntax highlighting and other coding improvements within the SGE answers.
Google wrote these new features “help you better learn and make sense of information on the web: whether it’s deepening your understanding of complicated concepts, boosting your coding skills or tracking down details within a complex topic.”
Google SGE can now be used while browsing either on Chrome desktop or the Google app on iOS or Android. While browsing a webpage, you can ask Google SGE to generate key points from the page. Google SGE will then summarize the web page that you are browsing.
This works on “some web pages,” which means this feature might not work on all content on the web. Google added, “You can tap to see an AI-generated list of the key points an article covers, with links that will take you straight to what you’re looking for directly on the page.” Google will also show you an “Explore on page,” where you can see questions the article answers and jump to the relevant section to learn more.
Google’s SGE while browsing is not automated in that humans need to request that SGE summarize the page specifically; otherwise, it won’t happen.
Paywalled content. Google will not let SGE while browsing work on paywalled content. So if you are using the structured data for paywalled content, SGE while browsing will not work.
Other ways to opt-out. Google said there is currently no special meta tag to tell Google not to let SGE while browsing summarizes the content on your web pages. If you use the paywall structured data, that would prevent SGE while browsing to summarize your content, but if you do not use that, there is no alternative available, at this time, for preventing SGE while browsing.
Indexed. Google did tell me that a page needs to be in the Google index for SGE while browsing to work. So if you block that page from being indexed, that should also prevent this feature from working. But that also means your page won’t benefit from being listed in Google Search.
The key points are generated based on the latest version Google has indexed, it is not necessarily generated in real-time based on what is on the web page at the time you use this feature.
What it looks like. Here are GIFs of this in action on desktop; it is similar on mobile but the menu to request this feature is at the bottom of the browser window:
Google now is showing for select words within the SGE AI-generated answer definitions, similar to what Google showed in featured snippets contextual links. In fact, Danny Sullivan, Google’s Search Liaison, told us SGE is using similar technology that featured snippets use for this feature.
Google said, “You’ll be able to hover over certain words to preview definitions and see related diagrams or images on the topic.” These work for “various topics or questions related to STEM, economics, history and more,” Google added.
The “Tell me more about [topic]” bubble will take you to SGE’s conversation mode, where you’ll see more about the topic that’s referenced.
What it looks like. Here is a GIF of it in action:
SGE is also improving how it shows coding in the answers it generates with color syntax in code examples. Google said, “Segments of code in overviews will now be color-coded with syntax highlighting, so it’s faster and easier to identify elements like keywords, comments and strings, helping you better digest the code you see at a glance.”
AI in search is evolving quickly, and SGE is one of the big players in this space. Offering SGE in web browsers is a big step in bringing it closer to Bing Chat’s Edge sidebar feature. This also may offer ways for your readers to better understand your content, give you insight into how Google SGE understands your content, and may give you ways to consume other content faster.

Google’s Search Off The Record podcast sheds light on the search engine’s evolving ranking systems and updates.
In the most recent episode of Google’s podcast “Search Off the Record,” Search Liaison Danny Sullivan joins the show to discuss a timely topic.
Coinciding with the rollout of Google’s August 2023 core algorithm update, Sullivan addresses common questions and misconceptions about ranking systems.
This article overviews the 34-minute episode, highlighting the most relevant insights.
Sullivan pointed out that Google’s ranking system isn’t one algorithm but many systems working together.
He states:
“A lot of people think, ‘Oh, there’s the Google algorithm, and that’s it, it’s this big giant thing.’ And of course, as we all know, there’s multiple systems that all come into play.”
Google discussed the change from referring to Google’s algorithm updates by specific names to viewing them as ongoing ranking systems.
For example, the update formerly known as “Panda” is now seen as a persistent, integral part of a ranking system.
This reflects how these algorithm changes have become fully incorporated into and continuously optimize Google’s search results.
Google’s ranking systems are listed in an official document, which includes current and retired systems, showing how search has evolved.
However, the documentation doesn’t list every ranking system, only some key examples.
On the purpose of Google’s documentation on ranking systems, Sullivan states:
“It seemed like it would be useful to list a lot of these so that people understood them and especially I think for SEOs and creators, for them to understand some of the ones that get involved with ranking on a recurring basis.”
The podcast touched on SEO professionals’ mistaken beliefs about ranking algorithm updates.
One misconception is that each new update necessitates reworking your SEO strategy. However, Sullivan disagrees with this view.
On how to react to a new ranking update, Sullivan states :
“If you’ve seen a change after one of these systems has been launched or an updated system been launched then that’s probably a sign that, well, maybe you’re not as aligned as you should be with what these things have been looking for with what Google’s generally trying to look for.”
Google aims to communicate more often about its ranking systems, but Sullivan clarified that this doesn’t indicate it’s making more changes than usual.
When asked how SEO professionals might respond to Google being more transparent, Sullivan joked that some might try to ‘game’ or manipulate things to rank higher.
However, he clarified that Google provides this information to help people improve their content for people, not just chase rankings.
“I think that I feel like more of our shift these days is less about these are the specific things and more of these are the mindsets you should be following.”
Sullivan said if SEOs use the guidelines to create better, more helpful content, there’s no problem with that.
The conversation concluded with Sullivan offering the following advice: Create genuine, engaging content tailored to your target audience.
He believes that the most successful websites are the ones that manage to produce content not solely to rank in search engines but also to provide real value to users.
“Now more than ever, having that authentic content that you created because you have an actual audience in mind that you know would come to it directly, that is your way forward as you try to navigate this world of how ranking systems are evolving.”
While staying informed is essential, Sullivan says most updates don’t require dramatic alterations to your overall SEO approach.

Apple Podcasts app
Apple has introduced a new feature for Apple Podcasts in iOS 17.4 that provides a transcript for seemingly nearly every podcast.

Machine translation has improved significantly in recent years, to the point that spoken word should be relatively non-trivial to transcribe into text. Apple’s work on machine learning models and artificial intelligence has led to a new feature for Apple Podcasts.
Users testing iOS 17.4 beta 1 have discovered nearly all of the podcasts in their library show transcripts. There seem to be some that don’t, and any added from an external source like a URL won’t.
The feature is new and still in beta, so there isn’t any information on implementation or expected accuracy. Users should expect most, if not all, shows delivered through Apple’s podcast network to be transcribed.
Limitations and other details will likely be shared by Apple once iOS 17.4 is released to the public in March. The update is primarily focused on updates pertaining to EU regulation.
Wesley Hilliard served ten years as a Nuclear Power Electrician in the US Navy, then jumped careers in 2019. Today, he is Assistant Editor, Podcast Cohost, SEO Specialist, and Social Media Manager for AppleInsider.
The introduction of the Apple Vision Pro has reintroduced 3D content after nearly a decade of absence. Here's where to find 3D movies for purchase from any Apple device that has a TV app.
Bring intelligent coding assistance to Apple's Xcode with the GitHub Copilot extension, now available in a public preview for those with a Copilot license.
The App Store could soon introduce AI-generated summaries of users' application reviews. Here's what we know about the feature so far.
Exclusive coupon savings are in effect on Apple's 2024 iMac 24-inch, with discounts of up to $100 off the all-in-one desktop on top of 3 years of AppleCare for $149. Best of all, no membership is required.
Apple has updated its Mac mini once again, bumping the compact Mac up to M4 Apple Silicon as part of a total redesign. Here's what's changed since the last update, the M2 Mac mini.
Apple has rolled out a new firmware update for AirPods 4, likely focusing on bug fixes and other improvements.
Don't expect to fit the new M4 Mac mini into too tight a space because you're going to have to tip it to reach underneath every time you need to switch it on.
A new anthropomorphic advertisement for the Mac mini shows off how the pint-sized Mac is "five by five inches of pure power and purpose."
The App Store could soon introduce AI-generated summaries of users' application reviews. Here's what we know about the feature so far.
Apple has launched its Tap to Pay on iPhone feature in five more EU countries, the slow rollout that began wit the US in 2022.
Apple Intelligence is currently available in U.S. English only but will expand to support several other languages in the early second quarter of 2025, including several not previously announced.

Google shares strategies for managing outdated website content rather than deleting it.
In the latest episode of the Search Off The Record podcast, Google Search Relations team members John Mueller and Lizzi Sassman did a deep dive into dealing with “content decay” on websites.
Outdated content is a natural issue all sites face over time, and Google has outlined strategies beyond just deleting old pages.
While removing stale content is sometimes necessary, Google recommends taking an intentional, format-specific approach to tackling content decay.
Google advises against immediately removing content that becomes obsolete, like materials referencing discontinued products or services.
Removing content too soon could confuse readers and lead to a poor experience, Sassman explains:
“So, if I’m trying to find out like what happened, I almost need that first thing to know. Like, “What happened to you?” And, otherwise, it feels almost like an error. Like, “Did I click a wrong link or they redirect to the wrong thing?””
Sassman says you can avoid confusion by providing transitional “explainer” pages during deprecation periods.
A temporary transition guide informs readers of the outdated content while steering them toward updated resources.
Sassman continues:
“That could be like an intermediary step where maybe you don’t do that forever, but you do it during the transition period where, for like six months, you have them go funnel them to the explanation, and then after that, all right, call it a day. Like enough people know about it. Enough time has passed. We can just redirect right to the thing and people aren’t as confused anymore.”
For reference guides and content that provide authoritative overviews, Google suggests updating information to maintain accuracy and relevance.
However, for archival purposes, major updates may warrant creating a new piece instead of editing the original.
Sassman explains:
“I still want to retain the original piece of content as it was, in case we need to look back or refer to it, and to change it or rehabilitate it into a new thing would almost be worth republishing as a new blog post if we had that much additional things to say about it.”
Google recommends removing pages in cases where the outdated information is potentially harmful.
Sassman says she arrived at this conclusion when deciding what to do with a guide involving obsolete structured data:
“I think something that we deleted recently was the “How to Structure Data” documentation page, which I thought we should just get rid of it… it almost felt like that’s going to be more confusing to leave it up for a period of time.
And actually it would be negative if people are still adding markup, thinking they’re going to get something. So what we ended up doing was just delete the page and redirect to the changelog entry so that, if people clicked “How To Structure Data” still, if there was a link somewhere, they could still find out what happened to that feature.”
To keep your content current, Google advises implementing a system for auditing aging content and flagging it for review.
Sassman says she sets automated alerts for pages that haven’t been checked in set periods:
“Oh, so we have a little robot to come and remind us, “Hey, you should come investigate this documentation page. It’s been x amount of time. Please come and look at it again to make sure that all of your links are still up to date, that it’s still fresh.””
Google’s tips for dealing with content decay center around understanding the context of outdated materials.
You want to prevent visitors from stumbling across obsolete pages without clarity.
Additional Google-recommended tactics include:
Following Google’s recommendations for tackling content decay can benefit you in several ways:
By proactively tackling content decay, you can keep your website a valuable resource, improve SEO, and maintain an organized content library.
