Google News trials higher images with new look

Google made two changes in their news search. Freshly Google OS reported that they are tests bigger images in new look news results.

Previously Google listed news search in Google News search results page. Google OS explained that Google tests an updated version of the Google News OneBox, with bigger thumbnails. The images are really big and I find them distracting.

 Another change is that the first link no longer sends you to a Google News search results page, it points to a news article and borrows its title.

Earlier thumbnail images size was quite small and they are replaced by an extensively larger image that gives better and user friendly search results.

The second change, new search query originally provides a link leading to the news results for that particular search. With this change, that link has been completely removed, and simply replaced with direct links to the news results themselves.
