Enabling this feature means you will see more content from the sites you like, the company says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When users search for a particular topic, they will see a \u201cstar\u201d icon next to the Top Stories section. They can tap on that icon and start adding sources by searching for them. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you select the sources, you can refresh the results to see more content from your selected sources. Google said that for some queries, users will also see a separate \u201cFrom your sources\u201d section below the Top Stories section.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"340\" width=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Preferred-Sources-How-To.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3036075\"  \/><strong>Image Credits:<\/strong>Google<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This feature enables users to get information from sources they like, but that would also likely trap them in an ideological bubble without exposing them to different points of view on a particular topic. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google debuted this feature as <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/search\/search-customization-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">a Search Labs feature on an experimental basis<\/a>, so users had to opt in to enable it. The company said that during the test phase, more than half of the users selected four or more sources.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, the company is making it available to all users for English language searches in the U.S. and India.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re always looking to evolve, and by providing some insight into your perspective and feedback into TechCrunch and our coverage and events, you can help us!
