Daily Search Forum Recap: March 7, 2019

Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web.

Search Engine Roundtable Stories:

• Google Automobile Knowledge Panel
  Steve Seeley notified me that Google is now showing a new knowledge panel and search result interface for car related keywords. So if you search for a a make and brand and year, you get this neat packed up search result with all the details on that specific car.
• Google’s Gary Illyes PubCon Presentation Was Image Search Focused
  I was not at PubCon yesterday for Gary Illyes of Google’s keynote but I was watching the Twitter stream and to me, it seems his presentation was mostly focused around image search. This was not a surprise based on Google’s recent communication efforts around image search being important for SEOs to look at.
• Google Assistant Can Book A Restaurant Reservation In Most US States
  No wonder Google kept turning on the Google Assistant call feature in your Google My Business account – Google just announced that they are rolling out the ability for the Google Assistant to book tables at restaurants in 43 US States.
• Google Video Describes What Sites Need Help With SEO When Using JavaScript
  As you know, Google’s Martin Splitt has been producing a series of videos around JavaScript and SEO. So far we saw an introduction video and how Google indexes JavaScript. The next video is also basic and describes what type of sites with JavaScript Google has no problem with and what types might need some extra TLC.
• Olga Ladyzhenskaya Google Logo Partial Differential Equations
  Today on Google’s home page is a special Doodle, Google logo, to remember the life of the Russian mathematician Olga Ladyzhenskaya. She was most well known for her work on partial differential equations and fluid dynamics. The Doodle was posted on her 97th birthday – she passed at the age of 81 on January 12, 2004.
• Double Rainbows At Google Again Again
  We’ve seen numerous double rainbows at the Google office, we even posted photos of them back in 2014 and also last year in 2018. But here is yet another double rainbow shot at Google I found on Insta
