I like to capture the history of each algorithm update as per this image and other sources available online.
I like to include a section “Major Google Algorithms” after “search results” heading. In that, I like to talk about how Google's algorithm evolved from 1998 to 2024. I like to capture everything inside a table with appropriate sources.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Please also see Timeline of Google Search which may already have this info. Jamedeus (talk) 21:33, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Redirected from TSPR. Why? Why here? And what is TSPR?
editSearching for 'TSPR' I was redirected to this article. No explanation. No disamiguation page. The term 'TSPR' does not occur within the article. What am I to make of this? Actually, this and similar things happen quite often in the Wikipedia. (E. g. following a link in one article to another article yields no explanation to how or why I'm being led to this other article. A search for the term displayed in the link yields no result.)

- @Korinthus: I did a little digging on this. The acronym comes from this page (since redirected to Google Search): Topic-Sensitive PageRank, which has history. You can read more there. The current iteration of the main article doesn't mention TSPR at all, so WP:RFD may be an option. Jip Orlando (talk) 17:16, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot for taking the time to make me understand! I really miss Emojis here, hearts, etc.! Korinthus (talk) 20:13, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- I've retargeted the redirect, along with Topic-Sensitive PageRank, to PageRank, which is a more appropriate (albeit equally undesirable) target. I've tagged both with {{R to article without mention}} but would also support taking this to RfD. Pinging @Samuel Wiki, who WP:BLAR'd the redirect back in 2019, for comment. InfiniteNexus (talk) 19:21, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks to you, too, InfiniteNexus (aswell as to Jip Orlando)! I am just a casual editor. I was really getting frustrated with a lot of things about the Wikipedia. It's people like the both of you who still give me some hope. Korinthus (talk) 20:19, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
AI Overviews as its own page?
editBy now Google's disastrous AI Overviews has received as much or more RS coverage than Microsoft's similar fail Tay (chatbot). Is it time for a separate article? Wqwt (talk) 21:30, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Illegal monopoly
editThe judge's ruling that Google search is an illegal monopoly is a big deal. It should have its own paragraph or, ideally, its own section. There is currently a very short subsection, a sentence really, but this should be developed because it is really notable.
See references here, here and here. As Slate mentions, this ruling "is nothing short of historic." MexFin (talk) 08:18, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
