Google is testing, I believe, another image search design, this time with making the image preview box a sticky box on the right side panel.

Google has been testing many variations of these image preview boxes in search for some time but this one is bolder because it sticks.

This GIF of it in action was shared to me by SEOwner on Twitter, he said "New @Google image loading split test is pretty cool. Not sure if seen before. At first glance, the right-alignment was weird, but I’m already used to it. Loading speed is 2x as fast because no waiting for down-scrolling."

Here is a GIF of it in action:

I personally do not see this, I see the old boring user interface in Google Image Search.

How about you?
