Sharing a link related to a Google search can refer to either sharing a link to a specific website found through search results or sharing the link to the entire search results page itself. The most direct method supported by Google's interface for sharing a specific result involves using the built-in share feature located near the result listing.
Sharing a Link to a Specific Search Result (Webpage)
When you perform a search on Google and find a specific webpage you want to share, Google often provides a convenient way to share the link directly from the search results page, especially on mobile devices. This method shares the link to the destination website, not the Google search page itself.
Here’s how you can typically share the link to a webpage you found via Google Search:
- First, perform your search. In the search bar, type your request for information.
- Review the results. Scroll through the search results to find the specific webpage you wish to share.
- Find the Share option. Below or next to the desired search result, tap Share. This option is usually represented by an icon (like three connected dots or an arrow).
- Choose your sharing method. Tapping Share will typically open your device's native sharing options. A link to the page will show in the message field or sharing interface, allowing you to send it via messaging apps, email, social media, or copy it to your clipboard.
This process makes it easy to quickly send a link to an interesting article, product page, or piece of information you've discovered through Google Search.
Steps for Sharing a Result
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Type your request | Enter what you are looking for in the Google search bar. |
| 2. Find the relevant result | Locate the specific webpage listing you want to share. |
| 3. Tap the Share option | Look below or next to the result and tap Share. |
| 4. Select destination | Choose the app (e.g., messaging, email) or method you want to use. |
| 5. Send the link | The link to the webpage appears, ready for you to send. |
Tapping 'Share' next to a search result provides the link to the destination website.
Sharing the Google Search Results Page URL
Another way to "share a Google search link" is to share the entire search results page for a specific query. This is useful if you want someone to see the results of a search you performed, rather than just one specific link.
To share the link to the Google search results page:
- Perform your search. Type your query into the Google search bar and press Enter or tap the search icon.
- Copy the URL. Once the search results page loads, go to the address bar of your web browser. The URL displayed there is the link to the search results page for your query.
- Share the copied link. Copy this entire URL and paste it into a message, email, or wherever you wish to share it.
This method shares the URL that starts with https://www.google.com/search?q=... followed by your query, allowing the recipient to see the same search results you did at that moment.
Both methods effectively allow you to share links derived from a Google search, catering to different needs – sharing a single relevant webpage versus sharing the context of the entire search query and its results.
