+Zlip792 MVC Posted January 27, 2013 MVC Share Posted January 27, 2013 Well I am getting some kind of new layout in Google Image Search, is it only me or they changed sometime back and I got it now? http://i.imgur.com/1U9OHtf.jpg Any body can guide?

Rappy Veteran Posted January 27, 2013 Veteran Share Posted January 27, 2013 Yeah I got that the other day, I quite like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdanster Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Still getting the "old" layout. Most likely a slow roll out like most of their site updates. Personally I prefer the current layout, the new one in the image above looks like it's taking up a lot of space unnecessarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUTZIFER Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Yeah I noticed that a couple days ago. I like it. I hated how it was before, so I usually used Bing for image searches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detection Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I preferred it when they had the black left sidebar with all the options, the way they have it now is a PITA to choose something like "Results from the last 12 months" I know its only 2 or 3 clicks but the layout is much more awkward imo Nashy, Elliot B. and Guth 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You now have to click "More" or "Search tools", which is silly when I'm using a monitor with a 1680x1050 resolution. Lots of wasted space.

Yep exactly, lets hope they change all of their search tools along with the image one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin McGregor Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 wtf. So 3/4 of the page is taken up for the image even if its small? I know I'm probably gonna get banned for saying this but its ugly. AJerman 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted January 27, 2013 Subscriber² Share Posted January 27, 2013 I just used it and still have the old design. I never had a problem with it, works like a charm. Love the new design though, can't wait to get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing Here Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 The new format is just wrong. I don't like it. I think I'm going to start using Bing image search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guth Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 So much wasted space :( I thought that when i saw the image too, but I just tried it out: http://www.google.com.pk/search?num=10&hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1535&bih=818&q=test&oq=test&gs_l=img.12..0l10.1274.1648.0.2202.4.4.0.0.0.0.125.405.3j1.4.0...0.0...1ac.1.C39-_bzJpEo&qscrl=1#imgrc=hhHGtZOwyyoZPM%3A%3BBWOfdLbqbxFC7M%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.indraneelghosh.com%252Fimg%252Fsport%252Fsport_318_test-201.gif%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.indraneelghosh.com%252Fsports%252Fsport_science%252F28%3B1646%3B828 Its actually pretty awesome! you get to see the large previews without changing page, if once you see it larger its not what you want. just scroll down and click another image and you get to see it bigger too its a huge improvement IMO its making better use of the space and you don't need to go back/forward all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not do it like Bing, which shows you the preview on mouse over, with even some minor options? http://i.imgur.com/FvGCeJC.jpg Guth and freak180 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OilersFan Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I don't like how you can't turn off safe search now without adding the word porn to your image search. How am I suppose to 'accidently' browse porn at work now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJerman Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I'm starting to get annoyed with how web pages have to do so much now days. That was what made Google so good, it's simplicity, and they are quickly losing that. I don't want a picture to pop out and show a preview when I mouse over (Bing), I don't want the page to split open to show a preview when click it (New Google), I just want the list of damn pictures, and when I click on one, open it. Oh well though, what are you gonna do! Just wait for the latest fad of pop outs and sliding web pages blows over and we go for minimalistic again.
