""Once you select your sources, they will appear more frequently in Top Stories or in a dedicated 'From your sources' section on the search results page. You'll still see content from other sites, and can manage your selections at any time," Google said. The new feature is the result of a Labs experiment. Google says that in that version, half of its users added four or more sources. Google offered advice to website publishers and owners on how to direct readers to add their site."
"You can click the star icon to the right of any "Top Stories" panel in Google Search, which will spawn a pop-up window to add sources, or you can visit the settings page directly at https://www.google.com/preference/source. Once you see the search box that says "Search by name or website," type the name or URL of a site you definitely want to include in your search results."
Preferred Sources launches in the US and India, enabling signed-in users to select specific websites to appear more frequently in Top Stories or a 'From your sources' section on search results pages. The feature is accessible via a plus icon beside Top Stories panels, a star icon on Top Stories panels, or directly at the preferences page URL. Users can search by site name or URL, check boxes to add or remove sources, and manage selections at any time. The feature began as a Labs experiment where half of participants added four or more sources. Content from other sites can still appear alongside preferred selections. Google advised publishers on directing readers to add their sites. The feature works on desktop and mobile browsers and requires signing in to a Google account.
