    Is my eyesight gone bad, or did google change the size of the text inputs on its homepage?

    Yeah you're correct. It is much bigger. Everything is bigger besides the menu at the main top. Good eye :)

    Yeah, did noticed that. At first I thought I have accidentally increase the text size in my browser, but it was not.

    Good move from Google for people who use small display like me. :D

    Yeah, for the sake of convenience of the users, Google did that. But, it looks so weird, isn't it?

    oh i see,
    the letters such as "good search" and " i'm feeling lucky" are much bigger, so convenient now.
    but it seems different font types appear now in the same page, a little strange.

    good move for larger displays too, seeing as more of this huge white space on the google homepage is being put to use.

    I think they copied it from Bing. I hate this idea of coping. Its a big company and should not copy idea from Bing.

    It actually changed while I was working on something, so it kinda freaked me out at first. I thought my computer was going bonkers...

    I think the analytics world is a buzz about the new changes to Google Search coming this week.
