"Google is testing adding search refinement options in the sponsored ads in a carousel format. The test shows refinements named "fine-tune your search," "search specific products" and "specify your search." But I bet there are more."
"This was spotted by Sachin Patel who posted three screenshots on X - here they are: Sachin wrote, "Google replaced 'Refine your search' with more headings." Anthony Higman replied, "Have not seen in that carousel format!" Forum discussion at X."
Screenshots show a carousel above sponsored search results that surfaces multiple refinement headings labeled "fine-tune your search," "search specific products," and "specify your search." The carousel appears as horizontally scrollable cards within the ad area, offering selectable refinement pivots rather than a single "Refine your search" prompt. The change places multiple targeted refinement headings prominently within paid listings, potentially guiding users to more specific queries or products. Additional refinement headings may exist beyond the three shown. The format suggests experimentation with ad-level search interaction and refinement discovery inside sponsored results.
