i still see it very much google guys, sorry.
that search recommendation is a great tool.

however, still even with my large screen i see huge portion of my screen occupied with stuff i did not ask for! ads in the middle (worst thing probably for me about the new layout) on the right, recommendations. these elements are nice or necessary but they occupy way too much real estate on the new layout, probably like 25-30% at lest if not much more in smaller screens? something like that is not directly linked to what user is looking for! the search results; the actual pages.

also the recommendation feature is good and accurate if you search for 'Florence', but when i searched for armenia and hit show all in included some suggestions that make no sense because there are no such things. in another word recommendation feature needs to be little smoother for sure.

see the good think about google is that they build such a brand man when i think clear i see google, when i think accurate i see google, when i think no pushy in their ads again i see google... and so on.

i personally never used yahoo at least as long as google is around and layout change will for sure not effect that. i have had troubles in numerous occasions with google search, web services, adsense and whenever i wrote to them i got a reply that actually helped in less than 24 hours. i did my best this last 6 months to figure out my yahoo trouble, contacted your guys numerous time Mike. i even pmed you here months ago twice asking for guidance and you did not even care to answer and say something like "sorry i am busy" etc. that is what i care first about yahoo as a webmaster, not your googleish color schema or layout.

i know i am going off the topic yet i hope Y! gets the idea. anyway, i will go back now to greping my logs for Yahoo! Slurp.
