Google has been working on a new search results page and we now know how to access it. Doing this will make all future search results appear with the new format unless you delete the Google.com cookie.
To access the new search page you need to go to www.google.com (if you use a local search such as www.google.ca then this will not work – you can click on Go To Google.com on the main page). Once you have accessed the main .com site then you need to remove all the test from your address bar (including the http://) and place the following test there:
Once the text is in the address bar you can hit enter to load or press the go button in your browser.
