Ironically, it was on someone's computer who does not have a Google account or uses the internet for much of anything. I have to say I saw this for the first time on Friday.

One of the options is to use keyboard shortcuts while searching. You could toggle line-by-line through results, go straight to the search field, get the next page, etc. In some ways, Google's existing advanced search (www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en) allows biggie-sizing for everybody--if you choose it. For example, you could see up to 100 results per page and search by language, date, or usage rights.

I've also since tried to do Google searches from home and am still seeing this pop up, so my IP address must have been one of the lucky winners for this test. SEO Guru,

I agree that this could really impact traffic for sites currently hanging around on the first page in the default ten. Even if it this adapted for wide use after this bucket testing, I predict most people will keep it at medium. It is what we are used to and habits are hard to break. I'll repeat my mantra; there really is no such thing as a #1 ranking. The days of increased customization are upon us. Ineresting find, there.

I wonder if there will be trending in industries as to what kind of search is done. If I was doing research I would use the large and shopping the small.
