I noticed it just today here in Kath­mandu, that the search result page of Google is dras­ti­cally changed! A nice Google logo is placed on the left hand side just below the nav­i­ga­tion bar to the left of search input box. A left panel is intro­duced to make search even enjoy­ing. Now you can fil­ter results like Every­thing, News, Images, Videos, Blogs, Updates, Dis­cus­sions etc. Sim­i­larly it is pos­si­ble to fil­ter with respect to time as well. Now you can dis­play the results from within 24 hours or past week, past month, past year and so on. Page Pre­view fea­ture has made it pos­si­ble to view the sam­ple of page you are going to visit. Lots of changes indeed!
Another use­ful fea­ture I noticed improved is ‘Search within results’. It was what I always felt when mak­ing some seri­ous searches. Its great now!

The right panel of Search Result Page is blank for now. I guess if Google is going to use it to show Ads?

These new changes has thrilled to many and I found some are even wor­ried. One gen­uine rea­son for some­body to dis­like the change is ‘huge waste of white­space’. This has given prob­lems to browse Search Result Page on small screens. A_N_M com­plains on Google Sup­port Forum as: Con­tinue read­ing →
