There have been a number of Google Search user interface tests and experiments I haven’t been able to post yet. Being that today is Labor Day (here in the US), I figured I’d cover a bunch of them in one story – since many of you want stories today.

The tests include a wider search bar, related products for YouTube snippets, Google Explore expansion, 3D/AR tests, popular products and deals carousels, and Google Translate overlay in Google Search. Here they are in no specific order.

(1) Wider search bar on Google.com via @rsrudra94:

This is the normal width of the search bar:

(2) Related products in search within YouTube video snippets:

Google > Mobile

I saw Youtube’s Related Products feature directly in SERPs.

(4) Google 3D/AR search result tests:

They’re displaying it now for single retailer listings as well, but its going to have a way bigger impact on those 10+ retailer listings in Search – a much needed source IMO knowing how much effort goes into 3D product renders. pic.twitter.com/bnwoDpPkS8

Not seeing a source link on desktop, however. pic.twitter.com/tp38iUjxaa

Now seeing a source link to the retailer that provided the image on desktop, and in this example its not a 3D render. Really nice to see more crediting of the original source in this part of search. pic.twitter.com/PJMbl0tePo

(5) Popular products and deals carousel:

(6) Google Translate in Search overlay:

🧵

Select text, click on translate, and the overlay window for translation opens on the search page.

Those are some of the new Google Search tests that I did not cover that I have had on my list for several weeks.
