Since we cover almost every little change that Google makes, why not cover this. I have been hearing reports both at WebmasterWorld and via email from Tom and on Twitter that Google is showing now a main listing with two (not one or five) indented results.

Here is one picture of what I mean:

Normally, Google will show a maximum of one indented results. More recently, Google was showing a single indented result with a plus box to five more.

I believe this double indented result is fairly new and more and more people will begin to see this.

Forum discussion at WebmasterWorld and thanks to Tom and David.

~Google Now Indenting Two Results In Search Results~

When Google local business listings are showing on the web search results, Google is now asking users to confirm if the business information is accurate. Even if the business listing is verified by the business owner.

Here is an example:

When you click the link, it asks you to “confirm” or “cancel.”

Then when you “confirm” the listing Google thanks you.

Mike spotted this a couple days ago.

~Google Adds "Is This Accurate" To Map Details on Web Search~

A Google Web Search Help thread has several Google users reporting that the AVG Free virus scanner is prompting security alerts on some of the Google search results pages.

Many are claiming the Google result pages with YouTube results are triggering the security threat. The AVG warning reads:

Danger: AVG Search-Shield has detected active threats on this page and has blocked access for your protection.

Several searchers reported this but I doubt there is much Google can do to fix the situation. It seems like this would be on AVG’s side.

Again, it seems to come up only when YouTube or other video results would show up in the search results.
