03/29/2004 "Google's New Clothes"

Google has changed it's user interface overnight. The front page now sports a tab-less look and there is a new link to promote their shopping search Froogle.

The search results have also undergone a slight change. At least for the time being, the directory listings have disappeared from the results and all keywords from the search are now in bold. The dividers are a subtler shade of blue and the adverts are on a plain white background making them a little less prominent.

All in all it makes for a cleaner look. Read the press release for the official news on the changes.
