Opening paragraph
Google is testing a new feature to notify people when they search for a topic that may have unreliable results. The move is a notable step by the world’s most popular search engine to give people more context about breaking information that’s popular online — like suspected UFO sightings or developing news stories — that are actively evolving.

Google is warning users when its search results might be unreliable

Opening paragraph
Google will now tell users when search results are rapidly changing around a breaking story. Some searches will now bring up a warning that “it looks like these results are changing quickly,” and a subheading will explain that “if this topic is new, it can sometimes take time for results to be added by reliable sources.” [In a blog post](https://blog.google/products/search/new-notice-search-rapidly-evolving-results/), the company suggests that users might want to check back later when it’s found more results.
