Google tests new interface, no longer "feeling lucky" 3

It’s hard to say goodbye to things that have been with us for so long, but it appears we may be saying goodbye to the Google “I’m Feeling Lucky” button that most people have tried and few ever use anymore (other than when having friends do a search for “Chuck Norris”).

The search giant appears to be testing out a new style for presenting their results based upon what is being seen on Google Finland for some. The order has changed, flip-flopping the URL and description sections of search results to put the URL directly below the live link. This makes sense, as it goes along with the concept that people rarely read descriptions.

Here is what the page looks like in the test environment set up in Finland. Click to enlarge.
