google testing a new layout for search
Google seems like they have a new flavor of search that they are testing (im assuming they are doing some A/B test for some percentage of users) and seeing how people like the new version. to see it for yourself go to google.com and paste this javascript into the address bar and refresh...

im just speculating but Google has just finished testing the new caffeine version of search so this may go along it. here is what the search feature looks like

aside from a cleaner, revamped logo there are little icons for the different types of search... images,video and news but also the ability to only search blogs or forums.

the javascript code above saves a cookie so if you want to turn off this new version of search all you have to do is kill the PERF cookie for google.com and it will click back to normal... so thats the new layout they are testing ill be updating this article as i know more :)

It doesn't work for me. I think it's because I'm not in the USA and it automatically switches me to my local Google homepage every time I try. Have any idea of how I could make it work?
yea it may be because your outside us... try a proxy based in the us or try changing the domain in the cookie it writes to be your local Google domain
It aint working.
hmm just started breaking... perhaps they are done with the test and we will see it roll out soon...
