Everyone knows that Google is growing bigger every day. Recently Google web page’s text box also grown bigger.

As part of Google UI changes, Google increased the width of the search box in the search page.

The below screen-cast is showing Google.co.uk and Google.com sites where you can visualise the difference.

    what was that intention?

    I compared Google India page with Google.com and they are of same size? Any specific reason for reducing size of Google UK search box?

    @Gopinath Google recently increased the size of the Search text box. When I capture the screen, the change was made to google.com but not for google.co.uk. I captured then so that we can visualize the size.

    The point is that, UK text area was not reduced; it was just not increased : ) Now, all the search boxes are increased due to which you can’t find the difference.

    However, I have updated the post with the referal link.
