An Enterprise customer requested we add position to more of the arrays returned in Google Search results.

We return a position field for organic_results, inline_videos, shopping_results and several others, but we don't consistently return this for many objects such as:

  • perspectives (mentioned by customer)
  • inline_images(mentioned by customer)
  • discover_more_places
  • discussions_and_forums
  • recipes_results
  • related_questions

There are many others.

I suggested they could use index + 1 of each element in these arrays to get the position, but this creates friction and inconsistency for how this Enterprise customer consumes the data.
