Branded queries filter now available to all eligible sites in Search Console
Google Search Console has rolled out the branded queries filter to all eligible sites. The feature automatically differentiates between branded and non-branded queries in the Performance Report, helping analyse traffic from users familiar with your brand versus those discovering you organically.

What changed
The filter works across web, image, video, and news search types.
Why it matters for advertisers
For you, this means clearer segmentation of brand versus non-brand traffic without manual regex filtering.
