Google appears to be testing another new interface, a fairly clean / minimalist one

This seems to be a slightly different version in that:
Navigation Links are in the 'standard' place
Lack of related searches
But yes, I suppose it does belong in this thread |
Sorry Stephen, you're right... the differences are so subtle that I totally overlooked them! |
Got to be the first time I've seen a post / thread moved twice.
I'm not sure how Google are choosing how to show this, as I get it for some searches an not for others |
yeah ?I kinda found this thread freaky.. It was there and then disappeared and reappeared :)-
I think someone once mentioned here that every new UI for SERP, needs to be tagged with some sort of version#. I think they should have that and also have a small rating button which sez.. do you like this screen and collect that information to see how the users feel about these new prototypes..
I feel that there are just too many UI's floating around on trial basis..!! |
/pd, I fully agree with the version# and rating system. Not sure how Google gathers any useful information with it's current system, as I'll (and many other I suppose) will use the Google SERP no matter what form it takes on |
I think it's a good idea to have a Search Tips link. |
=="will use the Google SERP no matter what form it takes on"
Stephen, yeah I agree.. but why then is there the need to push variants down the pipeline ? IMO, it is to see how users interact with the UI, the easiest way is to propagate the new UI, either in control or non control method and let the users recommend via rating system
Just having a new UI (one time display) does not really have much value from a usability prospective
..anyhoot..thats just my 2cents..
remember, a UI thats fits the asia demographics may not hold true for users in NA or EU.. :)-

Does anyone know the PREFID for the Green Bars UI? |
