Google is enhancing its Knowledge Graph cards in mobile search with additional tabs for specific queries.
Initially, the updates will be applied to Knowledge Graph cards for movies, followed by books and stocks.
The modifications to the Knowledge Graph cards for movies include tabs that provide deeper insights into the searched title.
Google’s original tabs in the Knowledge Graph cards for movies featured Overview, Showtimes, Cast, and Reviews.
The new set of tabs in the Knowledge Graph cards for movies now includes:
– Search
– Top Stories
– Trailers & Clips
– Similar Movies
When scrolling down on the information in a Knowledge Graph card, the tabs will snap to the screen, offering a more immersive browsing experience.
Despite this update, several questions remain unanswered.
When will the update be available to everyone? While the announcement suggests immediate availability, this doesn’t seem uniformly applicable yet.
Will other Knowledge Graph cards receive similar updates? Changes were briefly mentioned for books and stocks, but not for other categories.
There’s also speculation on the potential impact this could have on movie websites. Will traffic decrease now that Google provides more comprehensive information directly? Only time will tell.
