Search Console Web Multimodal Search Performance Filter

24/09/2026
Google has introduced a multimodal search data filter to Search Console so publishers can see how their content performs when users search with images.
What Does the Multimodal Filter Show?
A new “multimodal” search-type filter in the Performance report (and in the Generative AI features report) shows impressions/clicks from image-based searches.
Covered query types include:
- Google Lens
- Android’s Circle to Search
- image uploads in Google Search
- Chrome’s right‑click “Search this image.”
Day by day, search becomes more visual; this helps site owners understand and optimize for image-driven discovery and multimodal experiences.
The rollout is global starting on September 24, 2026; metrics will appear for sites that receive traffic from these queries.
