Google improves presentation of URLs in mobile search results

The next time you search for something on your smartphone or tablet, you might notice a small change in the search results. Instead of displaying long URL names, Google will now display the real-world name of the site and the actual URL will be in a breadcrumbs-like format.

This is obviously more simplified, but it also helps users understand websites better. You can see the before (left) and after (right) in the image above.

The update is taking place gradually so you might not see the change right away. Real-world names will only be available in the U.S, and the new breadcrumbs format will be available worldwide.
