G+ Search Update April 15


G+ Search Update April 15
We’re continuing to improve Google+ search this week with another update (on Web, Android, & iOS) that removes nearly identical posts in search results. These occasionally show up because two different branches of the same company have posted similar content. With this update, we’re tracking down such near-duplicates so you shouldn’t see them popping up in your search results anymore.

As always, please send us your ideas/issues using our Send Feedback menu item as that’s the best way to ensure we’ll see them.
Thanks~
