New Interface for Google Mobile Search

Google’s mobile homepage and search results pages have a new interface. The homepage only links to Google Image Search and you have to tap a button to find all the other Google services. The idea is reminiscent of the “hidden” navigation menu launched last year and quickly replaced by the black bar.

Search results pages don’t include the menu, so you can no longer open Gmail from a search page and you have to go back to the Google homepage first. The search box has been shrinked, there’s a bigger Google logo and the links to specialized search engines are displayed below the search box, just like in the tablet interface.




Here’s a screenshot of the old interface:
