This is a very cool idea. We need to manage expectations though, because (from what I've seen anecdotally recently when checking Google.* referers in the webrequest table, can do a more systematic check later) only a relatively small percentage of search engine referrals contain the query string. That might still mean tens of millions of pageviews per day, so I'm not saying it won't be worthwhile.

This feels like something better solved by search engines. Google for example already has a 'jump to"

That made me think if it is possible to show users who are coming with a referrer

What is referrer in this case?

If it is the section name ignore if not
are you saying referrer as in the section name appending with #?
in that case MF opens up that section. without any reference of what user is looking for it's difficult to know the context and open relevant section.

@Volker_E could you clarify the intention here? When I click on a link to a section within the article I land on the page scrolled to the open section, e.g.

@alexhollender What you're seeing in the exemplified screen is some additional product feature by Google, what the task description is about is some additional product idea for us.

Consider the two search URLs:

• https://www.google.com/search?q=mahatma+gandhi+literary+works
• https://duckduckgo.com/?q=mahatma+gandhi+literary+works

We would take such referrer to point to an expanded section (same name or fuzzy resulted name) when accessing the mobile article.

Also note, that I didn't see those quick links in my test Google results, so it's not a widely provided feature for the time being.
