Google is discontinuing infinite scroll on search results

Google is in the process of removing the continuous scrolling feature from its desktop search results starting today. The company’s spokesperson stated that the feature will also be eliminated from mobile search results in the near future. Instead of endless scrolling, the desktop version will now feature Google’s classic pagination bar, allowing users to easily navigate to a specific page or click on “Next” to view the following page of search results. On mobile devices, users will now see a “More Results” button at the bottom of the search page to load the additional results.

The decision to remove continuous scrolling is part of Google’s effort to provide faster search results across a wider range of searches. The company wants to focus on delivering search results that users have explicitly requested, rather than automatically loading more content. This change will streamline the search experience and help users access the information they are looking for more efficiently.
