Search Behemoth Gets Behemoth Search

Just a week after Google was granted a patent for its unique homepage design, the search engine has thrown it out the window. Yes, Google has made a HUGE change to the homepage design.

OK, I’m embellishing a little. Google has made a small change to the homepage…and it only applies to the search box.

The new super-sized search box comes with larger text and….erm, that’s it. Oh, and you’ll also see a larger search box at the top of your Google search results page.

Here’s how the change looks:

You can read the official announcement here, but really, there’s not much to add to this announcement.

    Yes, maybe a moot point. Perhaps this was to allow more room for Google Suggest (autofill) drop down info? It was a bit crowded in the previous boxes.

    @Travis – good point! Perhaps freeing up more room for the upcoming AdSense ads in Google Suggest.

    @Andy – I wasn’t aware of that (Google AdSense coming Suggest). That is crazy, but makes sense.
