Display of last Schema.org breadcrumb entry in Google Search?

Question

I\'m trying to markup my breadcrumbs according to Schema.org in order to get breadcrumbs in the Google results like this:

Home > Category > Current pa

Answer 1

According to the comments in this question's answers, apparently if you don't put an itemid onyour last item (current page), it will now be displayed. :)

Similarly, you could remove the first item's (home page's) itemid or url to prevent a redundant display like "www.example.com > Home > My page".

Answer 2

Google’s documentation says about breadcrumbs:

The breadcrumb trail may include or omit a breadcrumb for the page on which it appears.

The documentation doesn’t contain a screenshot of their search result feature, but my guess is that Google Search displays it the same way in both cases: without an entry for the current page.

It wouldn’t make much sense to show the link for the current page in the search result snippet’s breadcrumb trail, because the primary link (i.e., the search result itself), well, already links to it.
