Try the new Google Design

Google’s smart new design for its search page is being tested. It’s not official yet, but you can still check it out by using this simple trick. Go to Google.com/ncr and paste the following code in your browser’s address bar:

[code lang="javascript"]javascript:document.cookie= "PREF=ID=fddb01133a87d314:LD=en:CR=2:TM=1177334998:LM=1177334998:GM=1:S=OOg0FEVzpPplxe9J; path=/; domain=.google.com";void(0);[/code]

You’ll notice a navigation menu on the top of the page which lists other Google products. There are links under the search box which smartly appear. For example, if you search your name nothing appears, but if you search for ‘Google’, you’ll see a news link. Similarly, if you search ‘C++’, you’ll notice links to code, books and code.

Nothing mind blowing, but a refreshing change indeed. Alex Chitu observes that the number of results shown at the top of the results are missing, it shouldn’t really be an issue for most users. I would like to see this new design implemented.
