The blog further stated that users will get a description of the website from Wikipedia that would provide reliable and free information on tons of websites available on the web. Wikipedia relies on thousands of global volunteers to add content and based on Wikipedia’s open editing model these descriptions will provide the most up-to-date verified and sourced information available on Wikipedia about the site. Google went on to say that the website won’t have the Wikipedia description but would show users when Google had first indexed the site. The search engine would also show the users if the connection to the site is securely based on HTTPS protocol that encrypts all data between the websites and the browser you’re using. This would help users stay safe as they browse the web. The company has rolled out this feature in English in the US on desktop, mobile web, and Google App on Android. Which appear on search results. Google will now add extra information about the websites while searching for a specific topic.
