New google search result format

It has been a few days… Not sure if it’s only me or not, the Google Malaysia search engine results are using a new different format than the Google.com.

The link title is not underlined. The link URL has been moved up to under link title. Description is now at the bottom. “Cached” (show Google cache copy of the webpage) and “Similar” (show websites with similar content) links have been removed too.

Here is a screenshot of new format:

I don’t have a pair of designer’s eyes but the blue links and black text and green URL seems lighter than the exisiting format.

My two cents

In my opinion, the new Google search engine results page format seems clearner and more white spaces. The URL line moved up a level in the listing might hints that the domain authority is more important now. Big sites may benefit from the new format.

Do you get the new Google results format too? Do you like it, or not? Why?
