Many people use Google Search when they want to gather information about a particular topic, but the links to web pages that appear on the search results screen are not necessarily about the latest information on that topic. The search result screen contains a mixture of web pages that have been published for more than a few days and web pages that have been published minutes to hours ago.

On Twitter, on the other hand, users who watch over official accounts and topics send information in real time, and the content is spread by word of mouth. Therefore, if you want to know the latest information such as breaking news, disaster information, and sporting events that change in real time, Twitter is more convenient than Google search. Google, which has long known the benefits of Twitter, partnered with Twitter in 2015 to introduce the ability to display real-time tweets on Google's search results screen.

Foreign media The Information reported on October 8, 2021 that Google is developing a feature that highlights the latest information about search results for major news events. The feature under development is called 'Big Moments,' and a small team led by senior executive Elizabeth Reed, who is responsible for product and engineering for search experiences, has been developing for over a year. That thing.

A member of the development team said that Google Search is the latest in ever-changing topics, such as the January 6, 2020 attack on the US Capitol and the Black Lives Matter movement calling for the elimination of racial discrimination. Pointed out that it is difficult to catch up with the information. It is said that the articles displayed by Big Moments are decided based on the algorithm, and it seems that the implementation itself may be similar to Google News that already uses algorithms and AI.

A Google spokeswoman said, 'We are constantly experimenting with ways to help visitors to find the most authoritative and up-to-date information when they need it. All features and improvements in Google's system. Has gone through a rigorous testing and evaluation process to ensure that it provides value to people, 'said the statement.



In recent years, there has been growing belief that Google's dominance in search and advertising violates antitrust laws, and that Google search results are biased by region . As a result, Big Moments, which curates news in real time, requires advanced technology to maintain a fair stance and is expected to be subject to strict external surveillance.

It's unclear what format Big Moments will eventually be released in, but a Google spokeswoman said Big Moments has already been tested in live search results.
