Over the past year, we have made many changes to comply [with the DMA], including significantly redesigning certain features and completely removing others in Europe. This includes more than 20 modifications to Google Search, like the introduction of dedicated units and formats to boost the prominence of comparison sites for free in categories like flights, hotels, and shopping, among others. We have also removed useful features from the search results page, like features that show flight information, and reduced functionality for some of our clickable maps - changes that have negatively impacted the experience of our European users.
The test will remove some of the features that have been at the focus of the debate, including the map that shows where hotels are and hotel results underneath it. Instead, we will show a list of individual links to websites without any of the additional features - similar to our old 'ten blue links' format from years ago.
