Google lets you pick preferred sources when you search

Google is officially rolling out Preferred Sources, which lets you curate search results. The feature allows you to pick specific or "preferred" sources, like a certain blog or news outlet, and see them more prominently when you use Google Search. Google started testing it in June and it should be available in the coming days to English language users in the US and India.

Preferred Sources seems pretty simple to use. You go to Google, search for a topic and then click on the preferred sources option. You can type in the name of the publication or website you want to prioritize and then refresh your results. There's no limit to how many you can choose — though, of course, choosing too many defeats the purpose. The results should appear in a "top stories" or "from your sources" section when you search.

These sites should remain as your favorites on the same account. Anyone who participated in the Labs test should still see their preferences. In addition to encouraging social media follows, publications should also be able to encourage their readers to add them as a preferred source.
