Google Search Settings

Google has updated their search settings page sometime in the past 12 hours or so. With that change, Google removed the option to change the number of results displayed on the page and seems to have added a handwriting option.

Here is what the new page options look like right now for me:

Google Search Settings New

Here is what it looked like the other day:

Google Search Settings Broken

Google has not announced anything with this change yet about this change.

There are lots of people talking about the change on Twitter.

Forum discussion at Twitter.

Update: It looks like Google fixed the issue.
