Can someone help me on how to setup such a result:
Want to know the mechanism on how can we set the parameters that it shows also the image on the search.
You need to implement your CMS system Authorship tags to get the writers image in your search results.
More info you will find on Google Authorship home page.
It's called Google Authorship.

Currently I am working on a website that uses google search for searching pages in the domain, google returns a thumbnail from a specific page (Most of the time a random image it finds on the page) together with the search result.
Wanting to move to Bing Web Search API, because google will start adding adds to the result, I was wondering if there was any possibility to get a site's thumbnail together with the search on a specific website? Bing Web Search API Docs says that thumbnails are not supported for all webpages, however there is no clear explanation about how to add one. Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks!
If you are looking for search for your site only, you should use the Bing Custom Search: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-services/bing-custom-search/. You can create your search instance from customsearch.ai. I see custom search returns thumbnails for (al)most (all) results.
I am trying to share a post from my website(blog) onto Google plus but it isn't showing the featured image of the article, instead it is just showing the title and link of the article. I have microdata and also "og" tags for my page. When tested using Google Structured data testing tool, it is showing all good. I expect to get some help here. If I am trying to share the home page, it is showing an image, however if I am trying to share any post from the website, it is not showing any image. Please help, let me know if you need any more info, would be happy to provide.
One of post's from website
The og:image meta tag is being used by google plus rather than the image property within your http://schema.org/BlogPosting -as #abraham pointed out this is a broken link, it should go to http://top10grocerysecrets.com/Top-10-foods-for-releiving-inflammation.jpg - currently it includes /wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2015/07/ which isn't part of the image's path.
In the structured data it is valid, but not correct: BlogPosting has an image set but without a full path which may be why it gets ignored: the source should begin http:// etc. This is also needed if you want the image to appear in the google search results preview.
The WebPage element does not have an image set: only the BlogPosting does. Consider setting the same image property using a meta tag inside the WebPage element if fixing the BlogPosting image's path does not resolve the structured data issue, e.g.
<meta itemprop="image" content="http://top10grocerysecrets.com/Top-10-foods-for-releiving-inflammation.jpg" nt-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Print" />
In the structured data there are two unrelated mistake
the BlogPosting has author set to a link with fixed IP address http://162.244.66.231/top10grocerysecrets/author/cyoung this will reduce the chance of it connecting the blog with C Young's profile on the website.
the file name http://top10grocerysecrets.com/Top-10-foods-for-releiving-inflammation.jpg has 'releiving' in it, which is not the spelling used in the text on the image itself. This doesn't matter a great deal.
is it possible use a google+ page as author in google rich snippet ?
If for example i compare in a google search, the image and name of author of my article is the image and name of may google+ page.
Thanks to all and excuse me for my english
Authorship is meant to be for people so the rel=author links are meant to point to profiles not Pages.
Google's Custom search engine is really good. Though im having problems with it. Whenever i search on it, it has 2 tabs. (Web and Image). How do i get it to have the image tab to be the default tab when something is searched.
Thanks
You can use "defaultToImageSearch" param in your search box configuration:
It is explained here:
https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/element#supported_attributes
I just found out that Google recently decided to start using their own "title" when they display their search results. Also, after checking Yahoo and Bing I saw that the way they are displaying their results are the same but in completely different way than Google.
I guess my question would be, if there is an actual "correct" way of adding titles to my pages in order for Google to display what I want them to and this way get the same results with Yahoo/Bing that are currently using the page's title as a search result (sometimes they pick up the first tag and use it as title).
Any recommendations or links to follow for more studying would be appreciated.
There's nothing you can really do about it. Google will choose what title to display based on criteria they have not made public. This usually is the page's title as found in the <title> tag but if Google feels a different title better summarizes the page's content they may choose to display something else.
You can try to change your page titles to better reflect the page's content and see if that helps.
Using optimal keyword prominency in meta tags according to guidelines... and Google will pick up your meta tags. See our news portal's source and metas (keywords: hírek, választás 2014, etc.): http://valasztas2014.hir24.hu/
