Tons of people are seeing the expandable snippet carousel in Google’s desktop search results. We first reported on this test back in August 2021 but now it seems like Google is rolling out this interface. I personally do not see it but tons are.
Here is what it looks like with tabs in the snippet that you can click on to see a different description for the snippet:
Here is a video of this from Jon Henshaw from back in August:
Interesting new @Google rich result. Currently only seeing it used for people coupled with @Wikipedia data. pic.twitter.com/Sjlssx9ll5

But like I said, tons are asking me about it this morning:

@rustybrick I believe this is something new. Fetching it from Table of Content structure. What do you say Barry? pic.twitter.com/6W0kyCK5Ud

Hey @rustybrick
Do you have any idea about this Google SERP feature? pic.twitter.com/bPNcY8otB7

Hey @brodieseo & @rustybrick!
Is this something new or am I just late to the party? This specific section is being picked from the Jump Links present on the page!
Has this got some thing to do Google’s New Scroll-To Sitelinks?#seo #sitelinks pic.twitter.com/M3wglSNGu2

What’s interesting is how the sections are labelled. Is google using page headings exclusively? Bing does create sections based on content context like here → pic.twitter.com/OQIHfs8ZJJ

Hi SEO’s, I observed a new kind of snippet showing on SERP (google AU), all are H2 on the page. Is this a new kind of passage snippet or website is doing something extra to appear like this?

Google’s tabbed jump-to links test combined with rich results (based on Schema) can take up a lot of space. Here’s what this can look like when both FAQ and How-to rich results are triggered. This test is out in force today, also spotted by @AkarshK10 & @foodieby_nature pic.twitter.com/sT3CpoD9MJ

So while this is not new, it does seem to be rolling out – I think…
