I don't get it.
The old version of the page is better all around:
* No automatically changing the screen as you type - you stay where you are until you're ready to press enter and search.
* Select image/video/news/etc... search from the first page instead of having to search first and then change.
* Image search is MUCH quicker and neater with the page-based layout (no continuous scrolling) and the handy sidebar is better than the 'Search tools' and horizontal drop lists. You can also see the file name, website and image size right off the bat.
* Likewise, normal 'Search Tools' are available on the left without needing to use a drop down - very handy for quickly refining results for location.
* 'Advanced search' available right from the start.
I don't know about anyone else but that's not much of a reason to update . . .
