Google Search Featured Snippets Go Lacking

Google Logo Smoke Crack Disappear

Plainly Google has stopped serving featured snippets in its search outcomes this morning. It began round 7 AM ET immediately, nearly an hour in the past. I can’t set off any featured snippets to load.

It could be some type of rendering or serving bug or perhaps Google determined to ditch featured snippets. It might probably’t be intentional? I believe that is some type of serving/rendering bug, similar to we noticed with native outcomes not serving yesterday.

Strive surfacing any featured snippet each in Google Search basic and the Search Generative Expertise, you’ll be able to’t. I imply, I can not and neither can a ton of individuals.

I first noticed this through Shameem Adhikarath who posted about this on X after which I requested Glenn Gabe if my eyes had been tricking me and he additionally confirmed and posted on X and wrote, “Heads-up. I am certain this can be a bug, however featured snippets aren’t exhibiting in any respect based mostly on a variety of assessments I am working. Listed below are two examples. Let’s examine in the event that they return quickly, or not.”

He additionally shared some screenshots of earlier than and after:
