    yeah you are right, this is the change i observed yesterday evening.
    Input text box is bigger.
    First i have checked the resolution of my lcd, it was ok.
    then i came to know it was change in their design of landing page.

    yes.. you are right, I also notice this change in today morning only..

    even i also found some noticeable change in search results..
    is it because of Google caffeine (Its new architecture) implementation?

    I am curious to know this..

    Google bumps up size of search box. It indicates that search awareness is increased. People prefer to search long tail queries/keywords rather than short term keywords.

    What you guys say?

    the web evolves...

    it is better, in my opinion, though I grant you viewing in 800 screen it does look very large

    Get used to it folks...
