Google rolls out new search page layout, shifts navigation bar
Posted on 02:45 by Maria Scott
Google has announced some changes to its search page layout, shifting
its navigational tools from the upper left of the page to the top of the
page. The updated layout will be initially rolled out to the U.S.
users. The changes had hit the tablets last year, arrived on mobile
phones a few weeks ago, and is now rolling out to the desktop.
Google
in a blog post announced the update brings in a more streamlined search
page. “You’ll notice a new simpler, cleaner design on the search
results page — we’ve been working on ways to create a consistent search
experience across the wide variety of devices and screen sizes people
use today,” said Google.
Google further says the new design gives
more breathing room, and more focus on the answers you’re looking for,
whether from web results or from a feature like the Knowledge Graph.
The same advanced tools you’re used to are still there when you need
them. Just click on “Search tools” to filter or drill down on your
results:
CNET in its report points out
the results currently do not display the advertisements but that could
be a glitch from the testing. The report quotes Google as saying the
advertising placements will remain the same.
