Google Search Patents 2020: The Mega-Post Roundup

Check out the summary of all of the Google Search patents awarded in 2020, with links to dive in and learn more about to each one.

Hello and welcome to our great, big, mega-post round-up of Google Search patents from 2020.

Throughout the year, I spend time collecting and writing about Google Search patents that are of interest to the SEO community. I also write about the interesting ones every now and again here on Search Engine Journal.

Now that we’ve made it to 2021 (thank goodness), I wanted to share the entire 2020 collection with you.

They’re grouped to make things easier and so that if you’d like to do some research in a particular area, you can dig in.

And that’s the thing, really — nobody reads these for fun! Well, I do, but I’m strange (so the missus tells me).

It’s all about trying to learn more about various aspects of information retrieval and Google’s algorithm. I hope you find it useful.
