In this video, you will take a look at your search results.

Now we’ll take a closer look at how those results are organized, which will help you find the kind of results you’re looking for quickly.

You’re probably on a page that shows all results.

If you were to scroll down this page, you’ll see all different types of search results.

At the top of the page, you can see that the first results are ads.

Ads are always marked with the word “Ads.” Some businesses purchase online ads as part of their advertising strategy.

The rest of the search results you see are called “organic” search results.

These results are websites that most closely match your search query and may also take other factors into account, like your previous searches and location.

These tabs are labelled All, Maps, Images, Shopping, News, and More.
