We’re excited to announce a small but powerful update to the Fynd search experience, favicons are now included alongside search results!

You’ll now see each website’s favicon (also known as a site icon) next to the result title. This tiny image might not seem like much, but it goes a long way in helping you quickly recognize your favorite sites at a glance.

Whether it’s the red play button for YouTube, the blue "f" of Facebook, or the familiar icon of your favorite blog, these visual cues make it easier to spot trusted sources, browse confidently, and enjoy a cleaner, more polished results page.

When you visit a website, you probably notice how some end with .com, .net, or .org. But did you know there are also endings like .uk for the United Kingdom, .fr for France, or .br for Brazil? These are called ccTLDs, which stands for country-code top-level domains.

Each ccTLD is made for a specific country. So, if a business wants to have a website just for people in Germany, they might use .de. That makes sense and can be helpful when content is made for a local audience, in their language and with their needs in mind.

But not everyone uses ccTLDs that way. Sometimes, people make hundreds of nearly identical websites, changing only the ccTLD, like one with .us, another with .ca, .au, and so on, even when the sites are all meant for the same audience. These don’t always add value. Some are even used to try and trick search engines by creating what's known as a link farm, a big pile of similar pages that just link to each other.

If you run different websites using different ccTLDs, that’s okay! But here's a good tip: if the sites all link to each other too much, it might look suspicious. It’s better to keep those cross-links small and natural, not like one big circle of pages pointing back and forth.

We think ccTLDs should be used for real, helpful content made for people in each country. If someone is just using ccTLDs to make a lot of lookalike sites for SEO (search engine optimization), we may skip them to keep your search results clear and useful.

So next time you see a website ending in .nl or .jp, remember, it’s supposed to help people in those places, and Fynd is working to make sure that’s how it stays.

Sometimes you want to find something on a specific website, like Pinterest. With Fynd, you do not need any special tricks, just type what you are looking for and add the site name.

For example, if you want to see recipe ideas on Pinterest, just search:

recipe ideas pinterest

That will show you results that talk about recipe ideas and are from Pinterest. You can do this with other websites too, like Reddit, YouTube, Twitter, or Wikipedia. Just add the name of the site to your search.

It is fast, easy, and helps you find what you need quicker!

Some websites use "www" in their web address, like www.example.com. Others skip it and go with just example.com. This is sometimes called URL canonicalization, which just means picking one main version of your web address.

For Fynd, it really does not matter. Our search engine treats both www and non-www the same. You can use one, the other, or even both. It won’t hurt your site either way.

What’s more important is that your pages work and load no matter which version people use. If you want to keep things simple, just pick the one you like best and stick with it. But if your site uses both, that’s okay too, Fynd can handle it.
