Google: What we taught the search for this summer

Search development takes place in two directions. One of them you do not see - it is an internal change, a secret sealed, the holy of holies and all that.

The second direction is that you can personally observe user interfaces and interaction tools with the Google search service. Today we will talk about these improvements, what if someone missed?
