I think some of the gold in a Google Search design going forward includes: 1. Continued data mining on what people are searching for
2. Looking for patterns 3. Playing with how search results page design could be tweaked to display smarter results and providing contextual actions based on the keyword (or being able to do more with a single search result as a widget (save it somewhere, send it to someone, manipulate it) 4. Advertising inside a search result widget (maybe) We are seeing small snippets of this when you search for things like weather etc where the forecast displays in the search results. Would I want to change the search results screen immediately. No way. Would I want to edit bits of how results are displayed to see how users react. Absolutely and let the data speak to me. rgds, Dan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
