"Design is a balance between utility, usability, and beauty."- Jon Wiley, Lead Designer for Google Search.
Loved the fact that a little bit of design creates more demands in better product usage and better productivity.

I like the feelings that when I type several words no matter which is English or Chinese, most of the time, Google can give me the exact links and websites I want to check in at the top of the 1st page. That is amazing!

I'm so glad guys like this are working to make my life experiences better.... I loved the part of about "if there are speed bumps... even tiny ones... that we can make go away, it makes the experience better".  He's an artist..  What "speed bumps" do I have in my business that I could make go away? Brilliant question.

"I design search. And they kind of pause for a second and they're like, 'what is there to design?'" Well then, congratulations: You have succeeded. ;-)

I agree, the central, large search box was a  wonderful thing,  but why have you now made the search box 'jump' into the URL bar as I enter a query?? As someone who does a lot of research, it drives me insane, forcing my eyes to constantly jump around the screen.There are days I just change search engines because I can't stand it anymore.

How incredibly ironic that this video talks about design while you can clearly see the halo around this guy where they darkened the background. Ha!

Jon stop changing the order of search menu "images" should always be after "web"

[MichaelMacosa]

Too bad that the actual "search results" are no longer relevant….
