More Google UI Tests
Dave Winer notices some new Google UI tests.
What’s interesting is the UI allows users to search deeper in a site from the original listings. Also looks like the content is a javascript dropdown div - more content and more time spent on Google’s search page. If users can get the content they want without having to leave, that’s a win for Google. Not so great for publishers though.

Still no sign of these enhancements from searches made from the UK (if that’s why) - tried google.com and google.co.uk - No fold-out-able arrows here.
From the descriptions of it, it sounds very like the tech.memeorandum concept - where they show ‘discussion’
More importantly, do provide this kind of nav, you could use simple OPML - and thus provide search results in OPML. OPML Search ‘Subscription’ will be big this year - imho

Not only in the UK, also in the Netherlands no enhancements.
Search originated in the Netherlands => No ‘wedges’ => No refined search.

Don’t you just hate when big websites try out cool things and once you notice the cool things they go away the next try what ever (Yahoo!’s New homepage)

Yeah, I wish they would let users decide which version they want to use.
