Google announced that their Rich Results Test fully supports all Google Search rich result features which was originally launched 2.5 years ago.

Rich results are made up of rich snippets offering more image space and a carousel feature. To get your website into the rich results you will need to tag up: breadcrumb navigation, contact information, logos, sequential carousels and more.
Individual content types can also be tagged up, including news, blog posts, articles, ebooks, data sets, training, courses and more.

- Universal Results that appear in addition to organic results (e.g., image results, new results, featured snippets)
- Knowledge Graph data which appears as panels or boxes (e.g., weather, Celebrity Knowledge Panel)
