Rumours of a new Google design boasting a revamped logo and three-pane search page have proved to be factual.The new design features a striking logo with less shadowing, bright blue buttons, and most notably, an enduring pane on the left containing the search options menu.
The search options which currently have to be toggled on physically make use of colourful icons alongside tabbed categories such as news, images, blogs and video.
Also new to the layout is a "see also" section signifying related search terms, and the lower half of the sidebar displaying filters tailored to the sort of content selected.
"Like the Google Wave-inspired interface for Gmail, the latest user interface is cleaner and bolder than the present version, offering more options to the user ... it's excellent to see some changes after several years of same all same all."
The new appear has been offered to a select number of users, but you can try it out for yourself with this simple URL hack. Head over to google.com (not .co.uk), sign out of your account, and paste this into the address bar:
javascript:void(document.cookie="PREF=ID=20b6e4c2f44943bb:U=4bf292d46faad806:TM=1249677602:LM=1257919388:S=odm0Ys-53ZueXfZG;path=/; domain=.google.com");
Hit return, and if required refresh the page. You should then see the new homepage. (You may have to click 'Google Home' or 'Go to Google.com' if you get a search error.) You can also sign back in while still using the new search page.
