Google is constantly playing around and testing user interfaces for their search results and other services. Just recently, we captured them testing black instead of blue links in the main search results. Now, we are seeing Google testing two different interfaces, one that has a much more spacious and wider search results page layout, and the other that brings back the card-based styled interface from 2013. Earlier this month, Google began testing the wider interface, and then earlier this week, the test spiked, and more and more searchers saw it. The new wider interface brings more space for longer titles, longer descriptions for both the organic results and the AdWords ads. But again, it may just be a test, and although many are seeing it now, Google may not officially launch it. This week Google was testing the old card-style interface we saw from 2013 on the desktop results. By card-style, I mean each search result gets its own card or is boxed in by itself. A lot of people are seeing both tests now, but the wider test was something that a ton of Google searchers saw. At this point these are just texts and Google has made no announcement on changing the search results interface.
