Jag har inte sett den själv ännu, men UX Booth går igenom Googles redesign. Det är alltid viktigt att hålla koll på vad Google gör – de sätter många standarder och användarbeteenden. Här det viktigaste:
* Google-logotypen är ”30% större”
* Vänsterkolumnen, som tidigare varit valfri, är nu permanent. Där kan man – som tidigare – filtrera på nyheter, datum, bilder etc.
* sökrutan är bredare; fullskärmsbredd
* sökresultaten är uppflyttade 55 pixlar (det är inte JAG som räknat…) vilket får upp fler träffar ovanför scrollen
* relaterade träffar är större i botten av sidan
* sidfoten är större och den ljusblå bakgrunden har tagits bort
Och vad betyder detta? Jo:
1) fler sökresultat visas ovanför scrollen, vilket kan ha sin förklaring i hur datortrenden ser ut med mindre skärmar
2) Google arbetar mer med att erbjuda filtreringar, och blir relevantare, mer anpassad och därmed en skarpare konkurrent till andra innehållsleverantörer. Inte i form av aggregator utan i flera olika ingångskorridorer till innehåll hos flera olika leverantörer (bloggar, dagstidningssajter, videoklipp, etc)
3) sök och ”simplicity” lär fortsatta ledord för Googles användarorienterade design
- The dadasdGoogle logo ais about 30% larger.
- There is now a permanent sidebar left of the results that allows filtering by news, blogs, images, etc., as well as time range filters and options for changing how search results are displayed.
- The searchbox is now the full width of the results column, slightly taller, and has a slight drop shadow rather than the previous inner shadow.
- No more top vertical bar. The result count now sits just below the searchbox and is much smaller than before. The filter for searching locally moved from under the searchbox to the sidebar.
- Search results are now 55 pixels higher on the page and have have a higher density overall (there’s slightly less vertical space between results, and indented results have only one third of their previous margin).
- Cached, Similar, Show more, and Related links all changed from a muted purple to a brighter light blue and now only have an underline on hover.
- Pagination is about 30% larger, and there is still a searchbox below the pagination, though the blue background has been removed.
- Related searches are now displayed much more compactly.
