We just caught Google testing a new look for Google Shopping today. The current design is shown below and has all the Google Shopping results grouped together in a grey bordered box.
This new Google Shopping layout has a distinct grey bordered box around each result, and also takes the “Sponsored” message out of the boxes, making the Shopping results seem less ad-like.
Lastly, in one of the largest shifts of all there is now also a way to scroll sideways to see more results. This is similar to the swiping motion Google has on mobile results.
What do you think about the new design?
