I hate so it much, looks ugly but then Google's products never have been design efficient. Google has been "playing" with their pages lately. Changing colors first, then font sizes, showing slightly different search results than my local Google domain.

Ah I see it. It's only available on Google.com at the minute, not on the regional sites (i.e. .co.uk, etc). I don't really have a problem with the font, but the fact that the search buttons float at the bottom of the suggestion list sucks.

On a minor sidenote, I've got a HTML validator built into my Firefox. How does the google.com front-page page fail validation with 99 errors?

Hi...

I am marry here.So I like your idea of taking poll like this way.Well as per my point of view i don't have any problem with that type of font of Google,but i don't mean that everybody should think like this way.All have their thoughts.Thank you for sharing the comment...

I think it looks ugly and out of place, the only sensible reason I can see for doing this is for people with poor eyesight, but they would be using a higher DPI or high-contrast theme. Which to my mind just makes this change silly.

Will help me move to bing though.

Same, another reason to not use Google as much for me.

It seems they have made the width of the textbox smaller and I love it even more now. I used to think Google Search was ugly... I still don't think it looks any where near as nice as Bing but this is an improvement and I actually think it looks okay now, especially as the textbox is now consistent with Google Chrome's location bar (size, font).

    • I noticed this was already happening within my organization; my teams location will change between remote and on-site without me having to do anything. Is it possible this is live already for select customers?
    • I wonder what it will show when I'm plugged in with my ethernet cable at home and not using WiFi.
    • While LibreOffice is not pleased to see a new competitor, they are absolutely correct in stating that Euro-Office using a MS file standard as a default is not being truly "European." Using a MS standard just means Euro-Office is just a "bastardized MS Office Suite." (Wasn't a major purpose of Euro-Office was to get away from being captive and enslaved to MS's Office Suite??)
    • Microsoft continues its long-term policy of spying on their users--despite vehement denials. That feature will be disabled (or removed) either "elegantly" with MS providing a true way to disable it, or "quick and dirty" via a third-party who WILL come up with a way to disable it. Your choice MS...
