Google redesigns Search on mobile to simplify user experience

<p>
Google has announced it is redesigning the look of Search results on smartphones, to further simplify user experience.</p>
<p>
The mobile redesign will make text easier to read by using larger, bolder text so that the human eye can scan and understand Search results faster.<br />
<br />
Search results will also take up more of the width of your screen, thanks in part to reduced shadows.<br />
<br />
Google said the redesign will use colour "more intentionally" to help highlight important information without being distracting.<br />
<br />
"We wanted to take a step back to simplify a bit so people could find what they're looking for faster and more easily. I find it really refreshing," said Google designer Aileen Cheng.<br />
<br />
"We want to let the search results shine, allowing people to focus on the information instead of the design elements around it," Cheng said in a statement on Friday.<br />
<br />
Google has created more breathing room with a new edge-to-edge results design and minimised the use of shadows, making it easier to immediately see what people are looking for.<br />
<br />
The overall effect is that you have more visual space and breathing room for Search results and other content to take centre-stage on mobile.<br />
<br />
The update also includes more of Google's own font, which already shows up in Android and Gmail, among other Google products.<br />
<br />
"Bringing consistency to when and how we use fonts in Search was important, too, which also helps people parse information more efficiently," Cheng explained.<br />
<br />
The Google team has focused on content and images against a clean background, and using colour more intentionally to guide the eye to important information without being overwhelming or distracting on mobile.</p>
