Favicon Not Shown In Chrome Search Results

    I have already pasted these two line in the header:
    <link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
    I have checked the favicon path (/favicon.ico) and it does show the image.

    Why would a favicon -- the icon to be shown on your address bar/tab and/or if you make a shortcut to the page/app on your desktop, be shown in a "search result". Much less what do you even mean by "Chrome Search Results" as I'm pretty sure that's not even a thing.

    Are you confusing favicons with social media images such as og:image?

    THOUGH, your first <link> is redundant to the second, and saying type="" can actually break things if you have an ACTUAL ICO file.

    For what you're stating:

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">
    Code (markup):
    Is really all you should have there. Making sure you have a real .ico and didn't just rename a .png as some liars out there claim works.
