I Hate The New Google Look The new google look that google has been testing seems to have become standard now, and I _hate_ it. I want the old look back. Google is my most visited website, they can't do this to me :-( Does anyone on this board see any parallels betwrrn this and the sweeter coca-cola that was introduced at one time, ans spurned. In my opinion they are just making their interface more yahoo-like and trying to drive people from search to their "other services"(http://www.google.com/options/index.html) which are linked from their home page. Yuk. I at least want the option of the old look. What do other people feel?

for the most part www.google.com looks the same to me

Hey, it saved 1.5K.

It was a subtle enough change that I "felt" something was different but couldn't put my finger on it. Is there a list of changes they made? It still seems to operate the same to me...

I'd been seeing these changes on occasion for over a month now.. maybe as much as 3 months, and I never knew what it was that triggered it, maybe just the server I got.

That does it! I say we all abandon Google and create our own search engine!

I get the new google look for the search results page. It's basically the same, but slightly prettier.

(a) I didn't notice anything was different until someone else pointed out the lack of tabs here, but this is probably because (b) I never use Google's front page: there's a search bar built into both of my primary browsers, and the Google Toolbar for the rare occasions when I have to use IE...

I'm a little annoyed at two cheese-movings:

Mike, I'm with you. I didn't notice the change until I accidently went to the More page rather than the News page one morning.

I think it violates what Steve Kurg says - "Don't make me think" , only by a bit though.

I think I preferred the tabs. Can someone send me screenshots of the old google look? It's not even as _green_ as it used to be; it was somehow comforting. I have played with the look switch bookmarklet before now and I did not like the look. Suddenly they just switch :-(

I think putting "News" next to "Groups" was ill-considered. Twice today I've hit "News" instead of "Groups;" not by accident, but rather because they're still news[groups] to me.

Maybe that'll be your next project at MS. :)

You guys are kidding right?
Its the freakin' same!
I am glad someone said it. Because I noticed it this morning and I just hate it.

Thanks, Marktaw, for the tip about using images.google.com to get screenshots of the old google page. It doesn't have as much 'green' as I thought afterall (the tabs were actually grey); I feel much better being able to see what it used to look like. Perhaps I can pay the old look my last respects. And perhaps News should be before Groups. And I still do not understand what Froogle is about (unbiased product search?) ...

The new Google search results page looks like the MSN search results page.

Horrible.
Yeah..i'm not much for the new look either .. the position of the 'groups' tab has moved (and isn't a tab), and I'm far too used to searching for something on normal-google, and then switching over to a newsgroups search. Bah.

Well I like it, and I like the fact that they're trying to make it be better.

Run with the "Bork, Bork, Bork" language feature(or others, I don't know), which gives you the old google look back again.
one meeeellion dollars!

Oh, and "froogle." But seriously, there's little difference.

I LOVE THE NEW LOOK...

>You guys; you whinge when something's wrong, when something doesn't change and when something does change. jeez.

Funny, it looks less spartan to me. Hey ho.
