Google: Small Medium and Large – search results by size

by angela.booth on October 5, 2008

This is the first time I’ve spotted “SML” options (below) on a Google search results page.

_The Atkins Diet - Two Easy and Important Weight Loss Rules_ - Google Search.jpg

When you click the buttons, this is what you get.

1. Small search results

You get just the page title, and the URL.

2. Medium search results

As in usual SERPs, with page title, page description and URL.

3. Large – I LOVE IT!

Thank you Google!

With a click of the Large button, you get a better idea of what’s on the page, with page title, description, and snippets from the page itself.

This is great, because you can see at a glance whether the page is likely to contain the information you want, or not.

Google seems to be testing this option. I’ve just done another couple of searches, and the buttons have disappeared… oh… rats. Bring back the SML buttons, Google! I like them.
