Today we've released the February 2026 Discover core update. This is a broad update to our systems that surface articles in Discover. Our testing shows that people find the Discover experience more useful and worthwhile with this update.

Search Central Live is coming back to South America! After many successful events in the region, we're continuing our mission to help you enhance your site's performance in Google Search.

It has been a busy second half of the year for the Search Central Live (SCL) team! Zipping through the busy streets of Bangkok to the skyscrapers of Tokyo and the vibrant harbor of Hong Kong, we've been on a mission to connect, share, and—most importantly—listen.

Today, we are excited to introduce a new feature in the Search Console Performance report: weekly and monthly views. This new functionality allows you to adjust the time aggregation of any of the performance charts, helping you smooth out daily changes and focus on the overall trend of traffic to your website.

Today, we are excited to announce a new experiment in Search Console that offers site owners a unified view of their Google Search performance across their websites and social channels. With this update, we are expanding the Search Console Insights report to include performance data not only for your website, but also for some of your social channels. This new integration allows you to review Search performance of social channels associated with your website directly within Search Console.

The Search Console Performance report is a powerful tool to analyze organic search traffic, but finding the exact data you need can take more time than you'd like. Today, we're excited to announce an experimental feature in the Performance report designed to reduce the effort it takes for you to select, filter, and compare your data: AI-powered configuration.

We're happy to announce we're providing an additional tool to analyze the performance of your website by query type in the Search Console Performance Report: the branded queries filter. This new feature is designed to help analyze the queries driving traffic to your site by automatically differentiating between branded and non-branded queries.

We're always looking for new ways to help you understand your data and make smarter decisions when it comes to Google Search. That's why we're happy to announce a new feature within the Search Console performance reports: Custom annotations. This feature is designed to empower you to add your own contextual notes directly to your performance charts. Think of it as a personal notebook for your Search data.

We're excited to announce that we're now expanding the options for merchants to provide shipping and returns information, even if they don't have a Merchant Center account. Merchants can now tell Google about their shipping and returns policies in two distinct ways: by configuring them directly in Search Console or by using new organization-level structured data.

We're thrilled to announce our upcoming Search Central Live Zurich on December 9th! This is a fantastic opportunity for SEO and digital marketing professionals to connect, learn and engage with each other and the Google Search teams.
