Google will now link to The Internet Archive to add more context to Search results
Rolling out starting today, Google Search results will now directly link to The Internet Archive to add historical context for the links in your results.
Google Search makes it easy to find information, but occasionally you need historical context for a page that may have been recently updated. That was previously possible to a certain extent through cached pages in Search, but that functionality was removed earlier this year.
Starting today, though, Google Search will make it possible to see a whole lot more historical context for a link.
Google has partnered with The Internet Archive, a non-profit research library that, in part, stores and preserves massive portions of the web to be easily referenced later. This is done through the “Wayback Machine” which can show a website or specific page as it existed on a previous date.
