Google’s John Mueller said on Friday’s webmaster hangout that while the current URL parameter tool has been missing data for a while, it is not a sign that Google will deprecate it. In fact, he said when the tool does migrate to the new Search Console, it “will have some really cool stuff coming out.”

John would not say more outside of “it’ll be pretty cool” and he does not want to pre-announce anything.

He said this at the 11:04 mark when Mihai asked him about what is going on with the missing data in the URL parameter tool. John said the data should be fixed “fairly soon.”

Here is the transcript on the data issue part:

Then he hinted at what is to come, without saying more than it would be very cool and useful for very large sites:

We know Google still uses the data from this tool, a lot. And Google did say the URL parameter may change, which is why we have not seen it migrate yet from the old Search Console to the new Search Console.
