Google has announced a new search interface designed especially to take advantage of the large screens found on tablets. They’ve simplified the layout and used the space to increase page components like text, buttons and images to make the most of the expanded real estate that a tablet affords.
A single tap on a central search button allows instant access to search categories (images, videos or shopping, for example) and image size, scrolling and speed have all been improved to deliver a fast, large-scale search experience.
The search giant has confirmed that the new tablet search interface will be released on iPad and Android 3.1+ tablets over the next few days.
