In a few months' time, you might notice getting different sets of search results on a phone and on a computer even if you use the same terms. That's because Google has decided to start indexing mobile websites separately, according to Search Engine Land. Mountain View has been toying with the idea since last year -- the continued growth in the number of mobile users might have finally convinced the tech titan to push through with it. Gary Illyes, the company's trends analyst, has revealed the info at digital marketing conference Pubcon, where he also assured people that Google will still have a desktop index. It just won't be as fresh and as up to date as the one for mobile.
Google is set to index mobile searches separately, following the continued growth of mobile phone users. Trend analyst Gary Illyes unveiled the change at digital marketing conference Pubcon, and said there would still be a desktop index, but it would not be "as fresh and as up to date" as the mobile version. The move comes after Google's search engine was criticised for its lack of relevance in recent years.
