Google seems to be testing (or maybe it is a bug) having the search results page slide over right to the next page (visually at least) when you enter a new query. It seems like some new animation when you change your query from the Google Search results page.
Here is a GIF of this in action from Shameem Adhikarath on X:
I personally cannot replicate this but it is an interesting look.
Do you think this is a feature or a bug?
Here is the video source:

Update in January: Google still testing this:
Just noticed animated sliding transitions within Google's SERPs. Is this a new test? Doesn't seem like it creates impact? cc @rustybrick pic.twitter.com/TXYSQy85we
