Google’s Search Bar Bigger Than Ever
By Craig Lloyd on Sep 10th, 2009 at 4:33PM
In an effort to make searching easier and to put more focus on searching overall, Google has increased the size of their search bar and buttons.
Although this is a very simple idea and an even simpler change, we’re excited about it — because it symbolizes our focus on search and because it makes our clean, minimalist homepage even easier and more fun to use.” –Marissa Mayor, Vice President of Search Products & User Experience.

Oh shit, I thought it was me. I was messing with Ctrl +/- moving the font up and down for like 10 minutes. I figured I had accidentally changed the font size, and for some reason I couldn’t get it exactly where it used to be. Now this explains it.
Although, I must say that I do not like the change. Mostly just because I’m so used to it being one size that anything different is visually offensive.

Yap, looks like crap. Not that I use the google home page much. Usually the firefox search bar for me.
