Sweet, sweet updates

Delete, report, block

Hello folks, a third update this week. By popular demand, we’ll be rolling out a feature over the next few days that will allow you to perform a delete, report, and block action on comments on your posts.

This is similar to the remove, report, and ban action we launched a while ago for community moderators:

The launch today, however, is to provide you an equivalent action on your own posts.

To invoke this feature, select “Delete, report, and block” from a comment. You can optionally select “Also delete recent comments by this user” if you want to additionally remove recent comments from the user on your posts.

Incidentally, this image is for illustrative purposes. I am not actually planning on blocking Greg Wolfe, who is a valuable member of our team (and also the lead for this feature).

Searchbox updates in G+

Advanced search operators

Over the next few days, we’ll be rolling out advanced search operators to the Google+ search box to assist you in refining your Google+ search queries. For example, I typed from:”Ina Gat” has:photo commenter:me into the search box and rediscovered this nice bokeh shot from Ina Gat.

You can search for posts that have particular attachments (like has:poll), posts where you were mentioned (like mention:me), posts before or after a date (like before:2016-04-01), posts in communities or collections, and more! You can even use operators like AND, NOT, and OR.

Enjoy!
