Google adds user’s TV and movie ratings to Search

If you use Google Search on a desktop browser and you input a particular movie or TV show, Google seems to have integrated users’s ratings into the mix. It’s not showing up for us yet but as Android Police reports it seems to be showing up for some users on the web browser version (it doesn’t seem to be up on mobile either at the moment). Now, there’s thumbs up and thumbs down icon (which can reflect your own verdict) that shows up before the IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes ratings. You can also see a cumulative rating from Google users about the particular show or movie. We’re kind of hoping Google incentivizes users to “like” or “dislike” movies and TV shows so the system can suggest things you might want to watch.
