Anyone seeing this? At Google.com.au sites are out of the sandbox and the results are looking so much nicer than the .com Regional filtering of the results also looks to be improved. Are we just privvy to a new set of results being tested or is Australia just getting Google's full attention at the moment? Let's hope these changes "stick"!

Let's not.
"Blog has been deleted" ruling the serps isn't a good thing.
(no sandbox relief either, but a different supplemental batch, with less overall maybe)

reverted back to the crappier results about 45 minutes ago. for a moment there the results actually looked quite good, when they decided to let through a new batch of sites out of the 'sandbox'. + it looked like they kicked it up a notch with the filtering to aussie users. oh well.. guess they have there reasons to make there serp's revert back to crappier ones.

What I saw was a major difference between regular results and those using the ie? search and also &num=100 with a lot of sites missing from the results and results ending at "54 of 2450" stuff.
