April 2018 Google changed the mobile search results page from having the option to go to the next page of results and instead show a "more results" button. Well, now Google is testing this same user experience on desktop search.
Over the weekend, numerous people have noticed Google testing this out. Here is a screen shot from @tehseowner:
Here are more screen shots I found on Twitter:

@rustybrick you seen this test Barry? Desktop results with dynamic loading and "Load More" button (same as mobile) instead of pagination links? Paginated URLs end in #ip=1. pic.twitter.com/DpoiBtFRr9

Feels really weird not knowing what page I’m on. Not a bad experience, but pages feel more intuitive on desktop.
With pages you can go immediately back to where you found the information (being it wasn’t on page 1).@rustybrick pic.twitter.com/2FFijN2apW
Google is also testing variations of the icons in the search bar:
Is that 'search' text and the bar/divider new? @rustybrick pic.twitter.com/BJXkLjWIeA
