Google Tests Tweaked Search Suggestions User Interface

Feb 9, 2009 at 8:51am ET by Barry Schwartz

Google Operating System reports that Google is testing a slightly tweaked user interface for their search suggestions. Google made Google Suggest the default behavior for the main search box in August of last year. Since then, it has gone unchanged.

Here is a screen capture showing the “Google Search” and “I’m Feeling Lucky” buttons in the suggestion drop downs.

Google often tweaks and tests new interfaces and this is just one of many.
