Search your domains
Once you login to Google’s webmaster tools, the site selector will list all verified sites that you own and allows you to search for them quickly and easily. Remember only the verified sites will be listed and available here.
Block Non-home page site links
This feature will enable you to block non-home page site links in the Google search engine results page. For instance, if you have links in the site’s interior pages such as news, latest additions, music, photography, movies etc and and you want to block the display of the specific page’s site link like www.example.com/photography, you can do it with this feature.
URL removal requests of your site
In the updated version, if any webmaster has removed your site URL, you can get the URL removal request and revoke it easily. In the past, if your site URL had been removed by them by mistake, it will be difficult to undo the request.

Google has modified its homepage to make users identify the sites that have been verified and the sites that have not been verified.
Lets hope the “summer shine” updates will be useful for webmasters. Let’s celebrate this by updating the new version.
