Is it something wrong with my browser or Google's search box just went bigger. :evil:

I mean I'm not blind, I don't need size 36 on the letters to see them,
so if you know and if it's possible please tell me how to reduce them.

It's annoying, I'm not happy. :evil:

"Although this is a very simple idea and an even simpler change, we're excited about it — because it symbolises our focus on search and because it makes our clean, minimalist homepage even easier and more fun to use," says Google's vice president Marissa Mayer, who must be a hoot on a night out if she thinks a bigger font qualifies as "fun".

I was aghast at the first statement - but the response was quick and to the point lol.

I think I'm gonna switch to www.bing.com now, well at least until they return Google to it's previous size.
I'm starting to like Bing now, although I don't like the images part, it's slow...

Btw, is it really hard to make an option for smaller sized Google.
All we need is one button. :?

Hadn't noticed as I use the google search box built into the browser.

I have safari on my Mac and every time I open it I still keep thinking I've managed to enlarge it myself. Don't usually suffer from the old 3 second goldfish memory. I have safari on my Mac and every time I open it I still keep thinking I've managed to enlarge it myself....
