Interesting.

Are you sure its not just a greasemonkey script though? :P

I got it too, and I don't use greasemonkey. my google was normal one minute, changed the next, and I did nothing to the browser in between.

Actually, it's a nice, elegant (if modest) refresh to the design -- it makes Google even simpler n' cleaner.

Hey, I think it looks cool. Google
always seems to see around the horizon and see the future.

It looks actually more minimalist and less cluttered than the current page.

If you're wondering the graph represents the number of results that were found on the search.

nice, but id like to see more useful stuff down the rest of the left side. seems like a waste to dedicate so much space for half a dozen graphs.

I'd imagine the left side will 'grow' over time (down the way) to include more data about your search. Although I'm surprised this doesn't have BETA slapped on it! LOL

I haven't had this page come up (maybe because I'm in Thailand?), but I like the look of it. I use Google extensively, so hope the redesigned page makes it my way.

I think it's cluttered, and I like the current look better.

I'm not that taken on it. I like the current approach which has icons involved to differentiate between the different sections. 3 columns just seem a bit too much when they all have the same formatting.

i just love how the second result for 'corn' brings back "Corn Cam - An image of a corn field which is updated every 15 minutes".

That is a cool little add, but I do see that greasemonkey icon bottom right there...
I'd take it from google though - that's neat. Good way to clear up some of that clutter up top and get more results displayed.

This is hardly the "new interface" that I was expecting... this is nothing but a couple of elements shifted on the page. Ho-hum!

Pretty obvious it allows more results to show above the fold.

Well, after looking around on Digg.. it seems that a lot of people have been getting this. So I really don't think it fake.

Now the question is, is Google just testing with this for a few users, and has no plan of switching over, or are they going to use this full time eventually?

I have seen this for most of January, if my memory is correct. I had first thought it was just my Firefox when upgraded to 1.5 with new extensions.

re: is this just a % or will everyone see this one day?

google, like amazon, etc. is doing an A-B test. for instance, they might look at a metric like click through over to the other search types. if that metric goes up, this might make it's way over to 100% of users.

The new upcoming / under dev Google search page looks quiet swanky. But overall it’s a little bit crowded. And moreover when / if newer aspects are added to a page, it takes up more time to download, on the users screen. When it comes to Hi-Speed Broadband users it’s not such a big deal. But if you will consider the average surfer around the world, who doesn’t use/have a Hi-Speed Broadband connection, it matters.

So the main focus of Google should be to display the results the same way & in same speed it is being today. But anyways the Google search results page definitely needs an overhaul & I guess they will do the best for the same.

I would hope, if it is truly a Google change, that it is available as an option and not required. As a tablet user, I see it as more difficult for anybody using a portrait (as opposed to landscape) screen. It cuts me off from all those lovely advertisements! Now, if it is smart enough to detect the aspect ratio of the screen and switch automatically....THAT would be ideal.

Interesting - I am not seeing this with Firefox 1.5 on a Mac.

The 30,000 hits comes from being prominently featured in an InfoWorld article. =)

I knew I wasn't going crazy! Today I was searching and all of a sudden it looked just like it looked in your image. I was like "what the heck". I thought it was something in my firefox but i remember i dont have any extensions installed for it on this pc. Anyway I reloaded and it was gone.

I told some people and I had no proof. Mow I found this image in your flickr. Phew good to know I'm not going psycho! heh.

I don't like it. It seems more cluttered now, and there is just a big gap there of wasted space. I think they should have an option that you could change the interface.
