Google Bold

Google is again testing bolding the domain name or portion of the domain name in the search results again. Google has tested this numerous times over the years, I believe the last time we covered it was in 2018 but Google has tested it before and after that.

Here is a screenshot of this from Saad AK on Twitter:

Forum discussion at Twitter.

Update: Google doing this again in 2024:
