Jesse Ruderman: Experience Google's new look
Topic: Technology 8:08 pm EST, Mar 12, 2004

] Google has been testing a new look with a small percent
] of visitors. I wrote a bookmarklet that lets you make
] Google show you the new look:

Works for me.

] It works by changing the ID in your Google cookie to
] 102c51875a8839e9, the ID of one of the visitors Google
] randomly selected to test the new look. If your ID is
] already 102c51875a8839e9, it sets it 0000000000000000
] (anonymous), letting you switch between the old and new
] looks quickly. Since the bookmarklet only changes the ID
] part of the cookie, it preserves your settings, such as
] the number of results per page.

No opinion on the new look yet. I don't dislike it. Does this have any of the key controls Google was testing? I've always thought something "a"/"d" like hotkeys for paging through search results would be nice.

They have a version of Google with shortcut keys linked from the Google Labs page, but I did not really like how it worked. I want to navigate through Google like a FPS. :)
