Google will now let you pick your top sources for search results

Google is rolling out a new feature called “Preferred Sources” in the U.S. and India, which allows users to select their preferred choice of news sites and blogs to be shown in the Top Stories section of Google’s search results. Enabling this feature means you will see more content from the sites you like, the company says.

When users search for a particular topic, they will see a “star” icon next to the Top Stories section. They can tap on that icon and start adding sources by searching for them.

Once you select the sources, you can refresh the results to see more content from your selected sources. Google said that for some queries, users will also see a separate “From your sources” section below the Top Stories section.

This feature enables users to get information from sources they like, but that would also likely trap them in an ideological bubble without exposing them to different points of view on a particular topic.

Google debuted this feature as a Search Labs feature on an experimental basis, so users had to opt in to enable it. The company said that during the test phase, more than half of the users selected four or more sources.

Now, the company is making it available to all users for English language searches in the U.S. and India.
