Google's New Page Fade Effect
google.com — So about five minutes ago I was performing some searches on Google.com and after the result pagr from the initial search loaded, I added another word to the search. When I clicked search however, the page faded right into the new result page, almost AJAX like... wonder what those boys are up to...?

Remember: Google spends 90% of their time on search.

- tazzy531, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0You'll notice that the header bar loads faster than the rest of the page. I think this is what you were seeing. But the code looks like it's doing a full page refresh..not ajax.

Tired it on Firefox and IE 7 B2 - sam3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2They're always up to something, but, I don't see what the point of this would be.
- bbianchi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It actually looked pretty cool... since the top portion of the page is prettymuch static, page to page, it made it appear as if just the search resulted faded into the new ones instead of the whole page flashing really quick.
- bbianchi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1IE6, it definantly wasnt my browser trust me on that on. Its so locked down that unless its coming from the page then its something else.
I Went to google.com. I searched for something like '"Game Over" T-Shirt' and didnt like my results, so I added 'Green', and when I clicked search instead of the normal new results page just poping up, it faded from my old results to the new ones. - ionut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1go to internet settings / advanced and uncheck "Enable page transitions". do you still see the fade effect?
- RyeBrye, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Maybe if I searched for "Lame" and then added "Digg submission" it would fade into your submission here - which has as much independent verification as the University of Utah "Cold Fusion" experiment.
