Who can create notesIf you are in the US or India and are opted into the experiment in Search Labs, you can create Notes. Prior to launch in Search Labs, Notes had invite-only users who were paid for participating in the program.
If the "Add Note" option shows, you can add notes to the result. If the results aren't eligible for notes, there's no "Add Note" option.
Google uses signals like the search term, text on the web page, and other links to the website to determine whether notes are helpful. If a topic is deemed potentially unsafe or sensitive, results may also be ineligible for notes.
Information shared in notes must follow Google's community guidelines for notes and profiles on search.
If content violates Google's community guidelines for notes and profiles on Search, you can report it.
On the note that contains the content you want to report, click More 
Anyone with access to the notes experiment in Search Labs can view the notes you create. They can also view them on your public profile.
You can view the notes you create on your public profile. If you don't have a public profile, a profile is automatically created once you create your first note.
We may limit the number of notes you can post per day. Once you reach this limit, you'll be eligible to post again the following day.
You may be ineligible to post notes if your account has been blocked due to previous violations of Google's policies for user content on Search. Users who are underage or with accounts outside of the US or India are not eligible to post notes at this time. Additionally, if you are using an enterprise Google account, you will need to switch to a personal account to use Notes.
