Get your old Google look back

Google Search Engine users must have noticed the new Google home page and search results look. At the official Google Blog, Jon Wiley, Senior User Experience Designer, posted a brief information about the new re-design. He said:
We made hundreds of prototypes and gathered feedback from user studies, Googlers and through experiments – including one of our largest visible experiments ever. In the end, we came up with a design that provides dynamic, relevant search tools on the left, while lightening and updating the aesthetics all around. [...] The logo was the foundation for new icons and hundreds of tiny alterations designed to accommodate and seamlessly integrate the expanded functionality of the left-hand panel.

 Many Google users were not very happy with the new look and wanted the old classic Google back. Some discussions are also going on at the official Google web search help forum. Here we are highlighting some of the solutions that will come handy to get back the old classic Google search page and Google search results.
