Google has officially rolled out the new search results page. Initially this change will be visible to Google.com users in the U.S. and will be subsequently rolled out in other languages and regions.
The Google blog stated,”You’ll notice a new simpler, cleaner design on the search results page — we’ve been working on ways to create a consistent search experience across the wide variety of devices and screen sizes people use today. We started with tablets last year, got it to mobile phones a few weeks ago, and are now rolling out to the desktop.”
It further added, ” With the new design, there’s a bit more breathing room, and more focus on the answers you’re looking for, whether from web results or from a feature like the Knowledge Graph.”
In the new design, the bar along the left hand side of your searches is gone. This function is now at the top of your results, along with the also relocated Search Tools. The blog stated, “The same advanced tools you’re used to are still there when you need them. Just click on “Search tools” to filter or drill down on your results.”
