Over the next twenty-four hours we're rolling out a new format for image universal results*. When we're confident that we have great image results, we'll now show a larger image and additional smaller images alongside. With this new layout we're able to show you more pictures than before, so you have more to choose from. As always, you can click on an image to see it full size in the original webpage.
* Universal search is accessed by running a web search automatically and having different types of material beyond search results appear. Here's an example for the search New York. Note the map, images, showtimes, image results, blog posts, and books.
Today, Google has announced another change to the green URL line: In some cases, “region tags” — geographic information about the web site — will appear next to the URL.
Country-code top-level domains (or ccTLDs) can provide people with a quick and valuable clue about the location of a website—for example, ".fr" for France or ".co.jp" for Japan. However, for certain top level domains like .com, .info and .org, it's not as easy to figure out the location. That's why today we're adding region information supplied by webmasters to the green address line on some Google search results...
For the initial release, we anticipate roughly 1% of search results pages will include webpages with a region tag.
