Google Search ending 'Notes' experiment

Google Search is ending its 'Notes' experiment, which was launched by Google Search Labs back in November. The feature, which aimed to allow users to leave helpful tips about articles in search results or Discover, will not be officially launched. Users participating in the experiment could add notes, view shared content, like, share, and save notes. Google cited the desire for people to hear from others like them as the reason for exploring this feature. While not all ideas from Search Labs are expected to be implemented, Google expressed interest in incorporating learnings from the Notes experiment into future product experiences. Notes will remain accessible until the end of July, and users can download their notes until the end of August via takeout.google.com. The company will continue testing new ways to connect users to authentic voices in search results.
