Google is inserting search links into webpages in the Google App now


Have you seen them yet?

Google calls the feature “Page Annotations” and says it “extracts interesting entities from the webpage and highlights them in line,” which can then take you out to Search results when you tap them — inserting links without explicitly asking the user or the site owner first. According to the form, “the Page Annotation feature triggered on your site will be disabled within 30 days” of filling it out. Those doing so need to enter all of the variations of their site, including “www and non-www, http and https, and subdomains.”
