Do you guys like the new image search?
Personally I really don't like it and I liked the old one a lot better.
I liked that the old one gave you the basic info on the photo and favored functionality over looks. The new one is much worse functionality wise for me and even makes some of my Firefox add-ons not work. I think that google is just trying to be more like bing with this and that's something they do not need to do.

Google has a new image search? Never noticed. They seem to be the same thing. A bunch a pictures organized in rows and you click through the pages to see if you can find better matching images to what you want. They're pretty much the same.

Yup, you can quickly switch if you're searching music,images,web, whatever! Since you just need to click one of them on the left side.

It makes searching for the right image a lot easier!

I like it. I find the images I need easier and faster now but the limited things you can search for in the experimental version kinda sucks. I use it for all of my projects and its shaved of hours of looking for just the right picture. Can't wait till they take it off the experimental phase and on to being an actual feature.

I like it. No need for the exact jpg numbers unless you need it. Otherwise it just takes up room.

It's better than before. At least you don't have to press a button to go to the next page. And then having to do it again.

I think it's very problematic - that the amount of problems that can be caused by it are numerous. I've had a ton of glitches, a ton of freeze ups and I don't even like the design. It's glitchy for something bound to piss people off anyway, and I'd sure like my computer to stop loading images it doesn't need to when my internet cap is so limited.

I've stopped using Google Images. This design wasn't worth wrestling with.
