Google interface design undergoes spring cleaning

As Google describes on their official blog, the interface design of the search engine results has undergone a “spring metamorphosis”.   Google has updated its visual look in addition to providing users with new search tools to enrich the user’s ability to find exactly what he is looking for on the web in the most expedient fashion.

New and improved interface design

The main change to Google’s search result interface design is the introduction of the contextually relevant, left hand navigation feature.  It appears as a side panel on the interface and underscores the important search tools and refinements necessary to best assist you with your inquiry.

There are three extant Google technologies integrated into the new left hand panel of the interface design that can assist you with your search: Universal Search, Search Options Panel, and Google Squared. The Universal Search helps you to find the most relevant search results.  The top section of the new search panel uses Universal Search to suggest the most relevant categories for your inquiry, allowing you to effortlessly switch results.  The Search Options Panel lets you change the view of your results, enriching your perspective.  Google Squared helps you find and compare elements related to your original inquiry.

Google’s new search result interface design relays its desire to continue to make their program the premier search engine on the web, allowing users an easy and simultaneously detailed and dynamic inquiry experience.
