The company announced an update that’s supposed to make answers more accurate. It’s paired with an expansion in Google’s’about this result’ option and warnings for low-quality data voids.

Google’s snippets appear under many searches, but they can backfire in ways that standard replies do n’t. In a presentation to reporters, Google offered a snippet that highlighted the distance from Pluto instead.

Google has designated multiple top search results as high-quality. Search VP Pandu Nayak says the consensus check is sourced from pages Google has already designated as high-quality.

Google has often offered snippets that seem to confirm its factuality. But it says it’s been training its systems to get better at detecting them.

Nayak says Google is continuing to make improvements that could prevent similar problems. Google offered the precise opposite of good advice on dealing with seizures last year.

Google has been placing warnings above unreliable search results. It’s now expanding those to more general situations where it determines there are n’t high-quality results for a search.
