Google change

TBH, the way it appeared before (and still to me now) makes little sense from a user perspective.

Why have links on the top and the side which link to the same features but the ones on the top bizarrely do not carry over your search query?

They needed to get rid of the side or the top. Pretty much anyone with any kind of UI design acumen can tell you that.



Also, I'm pretty sure what is happening here is not Google making a system wide change.

It is more likely imo that:

1) They are testing user reaction and system flow change with a certain number of users.

2) There is a problem or maintenance with the service that provides those features that are missing.

With the greatest respect. Do you not think you are over reacting...just a little?

I actually imagined you throwing your hands up in the air and proclaiming "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!? A SERVICE THAT I DONT PAY FOR AND THAT IS FREE HAS CHANGED SOMETHING! HOW VERY DARE THEY!"

It's Groen. He's like this all the time.
 
I'm more p.'d off by the search engine update from middle of this year, it now conveniently ignores half the words you typed in a search field completely. :(
 
btw, I got home and saw the new design.

They have not removed the search tools, they are in fact clearly visible on your screenshot, which I could not see through my work proxy.

warning: Another moan thread

Google has changed their search page again :(

They have removed the spell check feature and removed the search tools. Why do they insist on making things worse. Every decision google has made in the last few years has been realy bad. Youtube design, google instant bs, now the new search page. realy annoys me when they make changes that removes features and makes my day to day usage of the site that bit more difficult. You would think they would go the opposite direction.

Oh, I wondered what was going on there :(

Sometimes you need to be ultra specific to pull in what you are looking for, imagine someone named their algorithm 'Bieber' and then having to separate out the dross. Mucho annoying.

This. A million times this. Google completely ignores most of my search terms now.
