Let us first take you through the different features and changes that have been introduced in the new design.

• One of the major changes is the appearance of the word Google. The Google logo is now larger and brighter and the shadow outline is reduced to give it less prominence. The overall effect gives a modern appearance.
• The search input box is bigger and more pronounced.

The Major Advantages Would Be :

One of the major advantages is that the new Google Design offers some of the hidden aspects of the search on the main menu. The most prominent and important would be the position of the blog results and the new discussion items displayed on the menu. This makes the search broader and more extensive. ? The similar results are now more accurate and useful and the searchers now have more options for their search. The search produces results, which otherwise would not have shown on the menu. As you cannot be everywhere at once, it takes a bit of an effort to find the most accurate search result.

The tools and options embedded on the left side of the menu are more or less redundant as they are attractive but not very useful.

After receiving positive and negative responses, there is still time to decide whether the new Google Design is impressive and acceptable or ineffective and a dud.
