Google posted a discover about this on this Google Group this weekend saying “Google Search is planning to launch SXG help for desktop customers within the coming weeks.

This web site nonetheless makes use of dynamic serving, so I ponder if we are going to get this discover or not? I’d simply wait and never do something to see if we set off an alert.
