The filter appears on the top of the results page alongside other filters or as part of the \u201cMore\u201d option, rolling out today and tomorrow globally.  We\u2019ve added this after hearing from some that there are times when they\u2019d prefer to just see links to web pages in their search results, such as if they\u2019re looking for longer-form text documents, using a device with limited internet access, or those who just prefer text-based results shown separately from search features. If you\u2019re in that group, enjoy!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Google tested this in the form of \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.seroundtable.com\/google-tests-web-results-in-search-menu-36846.html\">web results<\/a>\u201d back in February of this year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why we care. <\/strong>Now if you want to remove forums, videos, news, images or other forms of search results you can.
