Google Replaces Share Button With Save Button In Local Panel

Google Save

Google has swapped out the share button on the local panel in the search results for a save button. The save button has been on the local panel at the top right in the form of a star icon and that has been brought down to replace the share button. I do not see a share button replacing it elsewhere in the local panel.

Here is what I see now logged in:

Here is what it looked like several weeks ago:

click for full size

Note, this came the same time as Google added a hamburger menu with the save button in it.

Sergey Alakov spotted this change of course first.
