In a recent announcement, Google has decided to bring back page-based navigation to their search results. This change will initially be implemented on the desktop version of Google, with a ‘Next’ button allowing users to navigate through the results.
The continuous scrolling feature, which was introduced in Google’s mobile search engine in 2021, automatically loads search results from consecutive pages as the user scrolls down. However, Google has now found that this feature did not meet user satisfaction and could be overwhelming.
Google’s decision to remove continuous scrolling is aimed at improving user experience and making it easier for users to navigate through search results quickly and efficiently. The change will later be rolled out to the mobile version of Google, with a ‘More results’ button replacing the continuous scrolling experience.
The introduction of page-based navigation will provide users with more control over their search experience and enable them to find what they need more quickly. This change is an important step towards prioritizing user experience and ensuring that Google’s search engine remains user-friendly and efficient.
