Google Removes Search Filters for Visited Pages



One by one, Google's advanced search features disappear. Google's search tools menu used to include a lot of filters and now there are only 2 filters.



Google has quietly removed the features that allowed you to restrict results to visited pages and pages you haven't visited yet. "Visited pages" and "not yet visited" are no longer included in the search tools menu.



Here's a screenshot from 2013: 9 search tools.






A screenshot from 2014: 4 search tools.






And here's the same menu today: only 2 search tools left, at least for now.






I'm sure that Google will soon remove "reading level" and "verbatim", since they're probably used by a small percentage of Google users.
