Hi Ricardo

Interesting. Esp. that this is still being run, but generally I think they run tests for a while to gather as much data as needed. Curious also that you saw the tests based on login status.

Thanks for dropping by and giving your experience with this.

Correction:

Me again – I think it was pot luck – just checked them again – and now they’re back for all previously tested domains.

Seems very likely that it is an ongoing test.

Hi Richard,

An observation on my side:

When logged in to my Google account, the “Show results from” buttons seemed to appear on all the domains I checked (google.ie, .de, .co.uk, .li, .pt)

However, when I wasn’t logged in, none of the domains above showed the raduio buttons!
