Google facelift
Google has just released a major visual update…
Google is incorporating the “more options” that where previously hidden under “show more options” in the main search window in the main search.
Here’s a few screenshots

They have also introduced “fewer shopping sites” and “more shopping sites” links – just like the old Yahoo shopping slider half a decade ago… I really liked that btw Yahoo!

Aris, do you know if this is in beta? Or am I just daft? I heard something about this yesterday – but am not yet seeing the new layout in my browsers. And yes, I have clicked through the options panel – nothing says “Everything.”

I think it’s taking it’s time to propagate throught web servers around the world. Other have reported being able to see it from one IP and not another. I think it’s roll-out related.. Do you see it yet?

Yes, I starting seeing it late yesterday afternoon here in the US on an IP in Indiana … and now see it on IPs in Colorado and New York as well. So far I really like it – especially the ability to search for blog posts and discussions by very specific dates with only a few clicks vs typing in a string of search parameters … I also like that I don’t have to go into advanced search to do universal search based on age published. It’s right there in the sidebar!
as is the wonder wheel! (I spend way too much time playing with that toy.)
The only thing I don’t like about this new rollout is that some high-profile bloggers have removed the dates on their posts in order to game the upcoming algo change (seeing it as confirmation of rumors that the final phase of the Caffeine update will weigh fresher pots much more heavily than older ones.)
Thanks for the preview, Aris. – like I said, I’d heard about this on Twitter earlier in the week but these were the first screen shots I actually saw.
