The web has been extremely

The web has been extremely quiet about google's redesign. No word on the CHI-WEB or WebDesign-L mailing lists either. (Perhaps proof of the aphorism that nobody notices good design, only bad design.) A Google search on "Google redesign" found nothing, and only "Google tabs" found this generally positive article from Searchenginewatch. The article also mentions, usefully, a new search command:

A relatively new power command also lets you narrow your search to find documents in particular formats. The command is filetype:, and you follow it with the extension you want to search for. For instance: california power crisis filetype:pdf brings back PDF files that contain the words "california power crisis." In contrast: california power crisis filetype:asp brings back Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP) files, while california power crisis filetype:html brings back ordinary HTML files that end in .html, that contain the words.

(HTML is OK. Two linebreaks are converted to a <p>, one linebreak to a <br />. Represent all occurrences of <, >, and & by character or entity references, i.e. &lt;, &gt;, and &amp;.)
