Google Removes Reading Level Filter
Last month, Google ******* search filters for visited page. **w it's time for a new advanced search feature to be *******: reading level. This feature was introduced back in 2010 to let you find search results that are better suited for you. "Sometimes you may want to limit your search results to a specific reading level. For instance, a junior high school teacher looking for content for her students or a second-language learner might want web pages written at a basic reading level. A scientist searching for the latest findings from the experts may want to limit results to those at advanced reading levels," explained Google.

In February, I **ticed that the reading level feature had a bug and ** longer allowed you to restrict results to "advanced reading level" pages. Instead of fixing the bug, Google ******* yet a**ther advanced search feature.


Reading level is ** longer available in the search tools dropdown or in the advanced search page. Verbatim is the only remaining filtering option and I'm sure it will be ******* soon. Hopefully, Google won't remove time filters, which are more popular and easier to understand.


Here are some screenshots from last month:
