How to use Google’s new Preferred Sources feature in Search

4. Refresh your search results
After selecting your preferred sources, refresh the page. You should start seeing more stories from your chosen websites in Top Stories.

5. Check the “From your sources” section
Apart from appearing more often in Top Stories, articles from your selected sites will also show up in a special “From your sources” section in your search results.

6. Manage your list anytime
You can add, remove, or change your preferred sources whenever you want. Google says you can select as many as you like, and early testers often chose four or more.

7. Already using Google Labs?
If you previously set up preferred sources in Google Labs, your list will be carried over automatically, so you do not need to set it up again.

Tip for publishers: If you run a website, you can encourage your audience to add your site to their Preferred Sources list. Google has a help center with guidance on how to do this.

With Preferred Sources, you can make sure your trusted news sites get more visibility in your search results, while still seeing stories from other outlets for a balanced view.
