Is there a way to hide the left hand column? I actually find it really distracting. Also in FF 3.6.3 the text is not centered vertically in the search box. It's an FF CSS issue. I've seen it a few times before.
I personally like the sidebar, I think the date-based filtering is great.
heh cool the first image result in there was made with my software :)
(I've been on the team that did this since we staffed up engineers, and did the first functional demos of the new design.)
we tried to take all the things we strive for at Google and make them better: powerful technology, snappy results, simplicity and a fun and quirky personality Yes! This is totally what was missing for me. I had great search results from Google every time, but where was the fun ? Where was the quirky personality damn it?

Then just go to www.google.com/custom and make that your default firefox search.
I found this solution more elegant, as I already used the add-on.
Disneyfication.
c'mon it's a much needed and a good redesign, I suppose the top navigation bar is kept unchanged for further testing, it might eventually include only non duplicate function; gmail, docs, calendar etc.
Searching for facebook privacy shows Blogs first, then News, searching for new york shows Maps, News, Blogs, Images and Videos. Different options in a different order.
That has advantages (displaying Maps first when searching for places seems like a great idea) but also disadvantages: options switch places and are not always immediately accessible. Keeping the top bar (where services have a fixed location and are always displayed) seems like a good compromise. Admittedly not the most elegant thing.
Why can't I hide this fucking left panel?
I find the sidebar annoying, but perhaps more so because we have used google without it for so long. I tend to agree with techcrunch that there is redundancy in the side and top bar. New logo is good, search box is ok...but this modern style of it and the buttons seems out of place and more distracting then anything. The search features on the side are nice...but I used them so rarely in the past and don't see myself…
