The test changes desktop search results by altering how the favicon and site name appear. Instead of the standard layout where the favicon sits beside the site name and the URL is stacked beneath, the favicon and site name are shown in a one-line arrangement. The site name appears in bold, followed by the URL on the same line. The rest of the snippet then follows, including the title, description, and sitelinks. Multiple accounts reported seeing the change, suggesting a widespread rollout.
"Google is testing shifting the sitename and favicon in the search results around, where it is on one line with the favicon, then a bold sitename and then the URL, followed by the rest of the snippet; the title and description and sitelinks."
