Google to revamp iOS search website

Google is about to change up its search website for iOS devices according to a find by phoneArena. When viewed on an iOS device, Google's search page currently features the familiar search field with links to Images, Places, News, and more at the top. The new iOS-optimized search page will feature tabbed browsing and large app icons to allow the user to better distinguish between search results.

The new Google search page does away with the small links at the top of the page and replaces them with large icons. Furthermore, tapping on the "More" button reveals a host of additional large icons linking to various Google sites including Finance, YouTube, and Maps. It's clear from the leaked images that Google is trying to make it easier for smartphone users to navigate its search site on a small screen by making it feel like a mobile app.

The upcoming change was revealed when a phoneArena reader visited google.com on his iPhone. He used the new site for a few minutes, but it quickly reverted back to the current site. The fact that the new site was live for a while suggests that Google might be close to rolling it out soon. Check out phoneArena for more pics of what the new site will look like.

I've already seen some changes to Google's site and I truly hate them. Tapping on the search box brings up icons instead of a keyboard, and it's just an interference. Google really should remember the minimalist roots which made it great.
