Ignoring for a moment the cache link (I’m not sure how many people use it, maybe it’s worth testing whether Google could do with it being a bit more hidden) Google’s results page is very sparse and only provides truly useful tools.&lt;p&gt;I use Google’s ability to search for links from a specific time frame all the time, for example. I couldn’t do without it, it’s also accessible and minimalist. I also quite often switch between the different kinds of links I can search for.&lt;p&gt;I don’t see much on the results page one could reasonably remove. Exposing some of the advanced search options in the UI was the right step for Google to take. They didn’t pick everything, only the most important stuff. It’s all still very minimal.</text><parent_chain><item><author>wgx</author><text>The OP raises a wider point:&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;  For the longest time google made good on their promise to keep their search page simple and easy to use.
  Now, bit by bit the search page is getting more filled up with cruft that you don&apos;t need and stuff that you do need gets removed.
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
I am getting a hunch (just a vague feeling) that we might be approaching a time where a new, simpler search experience would pick up a lot of users - maybe amongst us HN/early adopters?</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Hey Google, I want my cache links back</title><url>http://jacquesmattheij.com/hey+google+I+want+my+cache+links+back</url></story>
