Google Ditches Continuous Scrolling for a More User-Friendly Search Experience

Google is introducing a new feature to its search results, replacing the continuous scrolling that was implemented in the mobile search engine in 2021. This change will first be seen on the desktop version of Google, with a ‘Next’ button to progress through the search results. A similar ‘More results’ button will be implemented on mobile devices at a later time. The move is aimed at improving the speed at which results are displayed and ensuring users see what they request, as continuous scrolling was found not to increase user satisfaction.

The company has confirmed that it is removing continuous scrolling from its search engine, citing several examples of error messages and website links that may cause issues when navigating online. This highlights the importance of creating a user-friendly and efficient online experience, something that Google is striving to achieve through its upcoming changes in search result navigation. The new feature aims to provide users with quicker access to the information they need while minimizing confusion and frustration when searching online.
