GOOGLE has begun warning users that its search results may be unreliable.<\/p>\n
The feature is aimed at breaking news stories, when information is often rapidly changing and sometimes inaccurate.<\/p>\n

Google announced the change earlier this month and has now begun testing it in some regions, according to a recent blog post.<\/p>\n
Upon searching for keywords surrounding a breaking story, a warning reads: \"It looks like these results are changing quickly\".<\/p>\n
The message continues: \"If this topic is new, it can sometimes take time for results to be added by reliable sources\".<\/p>\n
In its June 25 blog post, Google suggested that users of its popular search engine may want to check back later when it's found more results.<\/p>\n

While Google Search will always be there with the most useful results we can provide, sometimes the reliable information youre searching for just isnt online yet,\" Google said.<\/p>\n
\"This can be particularly true for breaking news or emerging topics, when the information thats published first may not be the most reliable.\"<\/p>\n
The company said it has trained its search algorithms to spot when a topic is rapidly evolving and a range of sources haven't weighed in yet.<\/p>\n
\"Well now show a notice indicating that it may be best to check back later when more information from a wider range of sources might be available,\" Google added.<\/p>\n
The change is now live for select users and is expected to roll out to more people over the coming months.<\/p>\n
It's the latest attempt by Silicon Valley to tackle online misinformation.<\/p>\n
