| Automatic thumbnails - no work required! | hxu-cse | 11/1/11 9:50 PM | Hi there! I know many of you have already mastered our PageMap tools and know how to add thumbnail markups to your pages so they can be displayed in your search results... For those of you who do not want to modify your webpages (for whatever reas |
| Re: Automatic thumbnails - no work required! | DJDeals | 11/10/11 5:29 PM | Hi, on our website it's rarely working correctly. It's showing smaller images from our "Accessories for this Product" section of the page, rather than the main image on the page. We see that we can use a meta tag to specify the thumbnail, but manual |
| Re: Automatic thumbnails - no work required! | hxu-cse | 11/10/11 6:40 PM | Thanks for the feedback! That'll definitely help us to address corner cases and improve the thumbnail quality. Do you have some specific examples (urls) that we do a poor job? |
| Re: Automatic thumbnails - no work required! | mspotilas | 11/16/11 12:02 AM | Hi, here is my feedback as a Blogger and two questions: 1. Blogger thumbnails youtube videos, and the thumbnail is available in blog feed. Custom search does not thumbnail youtube videos. Youtube video thumbnail is easy to implement and I think it wo |
| Re: Automatic thumbnails - no work required! | hxu-cse | 11/17/11 5:04 PM | Thanks for the feedback! 2. Yes, you can specify <meta> or PageMap within the <body> section (which is now supported but undocumented).3. There is a workaround. For individual pages that you don't want automatic thumbnail to show up, you could specif |
| Re: Automatic thumbnails - no work required! | GrampsK | 12/5/11 11:03 AM | The thumbnails should display like they do in a regular google search where the text snippet wraps around the images and they are small. The results look ugly when images push the text completely to the right of them as not all results contain images |
| Re: Automatic thumbnails - no work required! | davidtg11 | 12/10/11 4:15 PM | I'm still a bit new to CSE and certainly have come on board at the right time given all the new features that seem to have been made available in the past 6 months. One thing I'm seeing with the thumbnails used with our results is that only about 50 |
| Re: Automatic thumbnails - no work required! | hxu-cse | 12/12/11 5:17 PM | We recognize <meta property="og:image"> when deciding the best thumbnail to show for a page, so you don't have to implement another PageMap markup for automatic thumbnails. Could you provide me several example urls if you think that doesn't work as |
| Re: Automatic thumbnails - no work required! | davidtg11 | 12/12/11 7:38 PM | Thanks for the response and info. The site url is http://www.comtrya.com and if you do a CSE search at the site for "Girls Generation" only the top result currently shows a thumbnail. Though doing a search for "hi-fi camp" gives the correct thumbnail |
| Re: Automatic thumbnails - no work required! | vcjb | 12/13/11 11:55 AM | I like this feature, but can you expand on how Google determines the "representative" image on a page? What are the criteria? We have a staff page and it seems to be randomly pulling one staff member (halfway down the page) as the "representative" im |
| Re: Automatic thumbnails - no work required! | hxu-cse | 12/13/11 12:57 PM | You can always mark up the thumbnail image you want to display for certain pages (and let Google Custom Search handle the rest):http://support.google.com/customsearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1626955 |
| Re: Automatic thumbnails - no work required! | vcjb | 12/13/11 1:29 PM | Thanks. It's hard for us to do that since we use a templated content management system. Do you know how the representative image is determined? Is there anything we can do to make a certain image become the "chosen one"?? |
| Re: Automatic thumbnails - no work required! | animode | 12/28/11 10:26 PM | Hi I just implemented the custom search on my website: http://www.bambino.in/search.html The search works just fine but I do not see the thumbnails in any search.
