Google
Removes Search Filters for
Visited Pages
One by one, Google's advanced
Search features disappear. Google's
Search tools menu used to include a lot of
Filters and **w there are only 2 filters.
Google has quietly ******* the features that allowed you to restrict results to
Visited Pages and
Pages you haven't
Visited yet. "Visited pages" and "**t yet visited" are ** longer included in the
Search tools menu.
Here's
a screenshot from 2013: 9
Search tools.
A screenshot from 2014: 4
Search tools.
And here's the same menu today: only 2
Search tools left, at least for **w.
I'm sure that
Google will soon remove "reading level" and "verbatim", since they're probably used by a small percentage of
Google users, just like all the other advanced
Search features.
Google **w focuses on answering questions and natural language understanding, so these features for power users are ** longer important.
Here's a list of cool features ******* by
Google in the past 5 years:
* finding sites with images
* finding
Search results in foreign languages ("translated foreign pages")
*
restricting results to forums, reviews, blogs
*
finding recipes (the feature is still
available here)
* removing shopping sites from the list of
Search results
*
blocking search results
*
quick view for PDF files and ****** files
* timeline view for
Search results.
