Google has up to date the assistance doc for file varieties indexable by Google to incorporate Comma-Separated Values (.csv) within the record. I doubt Google was not bale to index these recordsdata earlier than, and I’m wondering if this was only a documentation change however not a change in what Google was in a position to index?
The assistance doc is over right here and yow will discover the brand new line for CSV recordsdata underneath the Textual content (.txt, .textual content, different file extensions), together with supply code in frequent programming languages part.
You may see within the March copy it didn’t have CSV listed. It additionally did not have these two sections:
- Varied video codecs: 3GP, 3G2, ASF, AVI, DivX, M2V, M3U, M3U8, M4V, MKV, MOV, MP4, MPEG, OGV, QVT, RAM, RM, VOB, WebM, WMV, and XAP
- Varied picture codecs: BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, WebP, and SVG
However with these, I’m fairly certain Google was in a position to index all of these with out points, so these have been a assist doc replace versus a Google Search performance change.
Replace: That is new not simply within the assist doc but additionally new when it comes to now Google can index CSV recordsdata:
New new, not simply new doc :).
