I still love Google's search product but I am not real happy with the recent UI changes they have introduced. I particularly don't care for the preview arrow thing that now goes down the right side: I keep triggering the damn thing on accident.


If you'd like remove Preview then you can use the CSS from this post http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3194164 to disable it.

conradfr: You may also be interested in the CSS snippet in the above post since it will make the Cache link show next to the URL.


Yes, THANK YOU! I find myself doing that as well. I don't understand why that is seen as an improvement.

Also, I always used the + to mean "the following word or quote surrounded string HAS to appear in the result text".

That seems different than quotes meaning "use this text exactly as i typed it".


I generally quote string searches but I do use pluses when I want to search for two separate strings in the same page, such as:

"Hacker News"+"Steve Jobs"


Also the cache link has been sadly moved in that panel.
