Google is rolling out a new feature to make search results more personalised. This feature, called "Preferred Sources," allows users to select their favourite news sites and blogs. The personalised results will appear in the "Top Stories" section of Google Search. This feature is now available in the U.S. and India.
When users in these regions search for a news topic, they will see a star icon next to the "Top Stories" section. Tapping this icon allows them to begin adding sources to their preferred list.
The goal of this feature is to provide users with more content from the sites they like. However, some critics believe that it could create a "filter bubble," preventing users from seeing different points of view on a particular topic.
Google states that for some queries, users will also see a separate "From your sources" section below "Top Stories." Users can choose multiple sources to add to their list.
This feature initially debuted as an experimental Search Labs feature. According to Google, during the testing phase, more than half of the users selected multiple sources.

Here’s how you can set India TV as a preferred source to see more of our content in your search results:
