jaymdee Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 This afternoon I've noticed Google has changed it's format and lost the short cut links to web/images/video/etc at the top left. Anyone else noticed this - it's F''ing annoying as you can't switch a search from web to images and back again anymore!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Seems the same to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 i noticed this yesterday. bloody annoying. i normaly type into my search bar in firefox what i want a picture of and then when google comes up press the image button. but now you have to go to the main page. press image and the retype the whole thing. it used to save what you searched for if you did that so you just pressed search again now it doesnt and just removes it.

Exactly, absolute rubbish, if it's a new feature. From doing a search it seems that it may be something Google are testing on random people. Hopefully they'll abandon it. Michael - I use Google Chrome and use the address bar to enter my search criteria which then defaults me to normal Google.co.uk. Never used iGoogle.

Scott Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Are you guys using google.co.uk or google.com? Google.co.uk is still the same as it always was.... for me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsta_01 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 You have to select what you want (images, videos etc.), then do the search. Its the only way it works fo me anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I'm still not getting it. Maybe i'm slow on the uptake here. I did a search for "biscuits" and got the following... I then click on "images" up the top left and i get this... Whats wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymdee Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 Your second picture has now lost the ability to search videos, type a new image search and then go back to general web searches. Exactly the same as me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Ahh i'm with you now. I never noticed you could do that before to be honest. Its not something i have ever used in the past. Would the back button not suffice? You made it sound like after hitting "search" the links disappear. They didn't, as per my first pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, that's a good point - mine do disappear once I hit search, so not sure why yours are still there... curiouser and curiouser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 So only 2 folks are seeing the change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay_NW Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I can see the changes too. Google is about to do a major update. Am not sure if they have done the update yet. This is their test version http://www2.sandbox.google.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
