Google Supersizes Images In Universal Search

In a brief blog post this afternoon, Google has introduced a new layout for displaying images in universal search results on Google.com. Rather than a single row of equal-sized images, some searches may produce a single, supersized image next to two rows of regularly-sized images.

Here’s what the image results look like currently on a search for [ocelot]:

ocelot-now

And here’s how the new display will look on the same search:

ms1

Google says it will use the new display when they’re “confident that we have great image results.” Look for the new display to roll out over the next 24 hours.
