Official Google Webmaster Central Blog: Rolling out mobile-first indexing

Today we’re announcing that after a year and a half of careful experimentation and testing, we’ve started migrating sites that follow the best practices for mobile-first indexing.

To recap, our crawling, indexing, and ranking systems have typically used the desktop version of a page's content, which may cause issues for mobile searchers when that version is vastly different from the mobile version. Mobile-first indexing means that we'll use the mobile version of the page for indexing and ranking, to better help our – primarily mobile – users find what they're looking for.

We continue to have one single index that we use for serving search results. We do not have a “mobile-first index” that’s separate from our main index. Historically, the desktop version was indexed, but increasingly, we will be using the mobile versions of content.

Official Google India Blog: Making it easier to search for jobs in India

Now, when you search for “jobs near me,” “jobs for freshers,” or similar job-seeking queries, you’ll see in-depth results that allow you to explore relevant job opportunities from across the web. We’re working with a number of organizations from across the industry to bring you the most comprehensive listing of jobs — including Aasaanjobs, Freshersworld, Headhonchos, IBM Talent Management Solutions, LinkedIn, Quezx, QuikrJobs, Shine.com, T-Jobs, TimesJobs, and Wisdomjobs. This means you’ll see job postings relevant to you from multiple sites, including others from company websites as soon as they’re up (thanks to open documentation, described later.) Job search on Google currently has over a million listings across job types and industries from over ninety thousand employers in the country.

And to ensure even more jobs are listed over time, we’ve published open documentation for all third-party job search platforms and direct employers, big or small, for making their job openings discoverable in this new search experience. With 51 million Indian SMBs creating over 110 million jobs annually, they now have the ability to surface their jobs contextually and to a large pool of relevant job seekers.

Set your summer schedule with events in Search

If you’re on the hunt for activities to fill your summer calendar, we’re making it even easier to find events in Search. Last year we introduced a new way to look for events near you, and over the next few days we’ll be adding new features to give you personal recommendations, along with more information about events that interest you.


When you search on your phone for things like “events near me” or “free concert” in the U.S., you’ll not only find a list of events from a variety of sites, but also key information about the event, right on Search.
