Google’s old search is back

If you have recently visited Google, you will have noticed that the search has changed. During one of my SEO sessions for bidorbuy I thought it would be worthwhile reviewing Google’s own robots.txt.

At first, the Disallow for unclesam caught my eye – in essence a customised search across government institutions.

If you look through the robots.txt file, you will also come across the custom-tag which will actually give you back almost the old layout of the old Google search.

BTW: While you are at it, have a look at the links for linux, bsd, and microsoft.

Tick… tock… lets see how long it takes for those links to change the search format.
