The limit for the URL length displayed in Google search results varies, but it is typically around 512 - 1024 characters. However, Google may choose to truncate the URL in search results even if it is shorter than the limit, in order to display the most relevant information.


It's also important to note that while the length of the URL displayed in search results is limited, the actual length of the URL that Google can crawl and index is much larger. URLs up to 2,083 characters can be used in modern browsers, and Google can index URLs up to 2048 characters. However, it's generally recommended to keep URLs short and descriptive, as this can make them easier to remember and share.

There is no specific limit to the URL length that Google displays in search results. However, it is generally recommended to keep URLs short and descriptive for better readability and to increase the chances of being displayed in full in the search results. Google typically displays up to 600 characters of a URL in the search results, but this can vary depending on the user's device and screen size.


In general, it's a good practice to keep your URLs as short as possible while still accurately describing the content of the page. This can help improve the click-through rate (CTR) of your search results and make it easier for users to understand where they're going when they click on a link.
