Update (April 13, 2010): I asked myself how to file a bug report. It seems blogging is a way to file a bug report. The new design is part of “the many, many experiments that Google runs” Jon Wiley commented.

On my workstation Google supplied their new design to me. I didn’t really liked this new design at first and that feeling became worse when I noticed some bugs. Also, the new design feels slower than before.

The first picture shows a flaw in the text field. ‘Taller’ letters will be cut at the bottom:

The second picture shows a more serious bug. Typing a search phrase and pressing enter results in the page with results and the suggestion dropdown from the previous page still visible.

I have tried to file a bug report, but it seems impossible to contact them directly.

Would like to try the new Google interface? Perform the following steps to make it so:

• Visit Google
• Clear out the contents in your address bar
• Enter the following: javascript:void(document.cookie=”PREF=ID=20b6e4c2f44943bb:U=4bf292d46faad806:TM=1249677602:LM=1257919388:S=odm0Ys-53ZueXfZG;path=/; domain=.google.com”);
• Press the Enter key
