: When, if ever, and how, would Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc will add the new gTLD to their search results? New domain names like .photos .gallery .repair etc are being released every month. I tried

New domain names like .photos .gallery .repair etc are being released every month. I tried running a generic search for some things, and I could not find any of those in the results.

Any idea if they will ever integrate them into the search results? Will they be ranked higher than the .com domains? For example, if someone had stackphotos.com and now they got stack.photos - will the second domain be ranked higher than the first?

Of course they will. Do you really think the search engines would omit an entire segment of websites just because their TLD is new? The search engines have readily indexed and ranked new TLDs as they emerged (i.e. .co, .biz). These new TLDs will be no exception.

TLD is one of many ranking factors. Just having a TLD that is relevant for a search term is not going to be enough to make the difference in rankings. Some people would like to speculate about "all things being equal" but in reality they are never equal so I won't get involved in that. (Plus it would only be speculation anyway).
