Google is once again testing information cards on Google.com

Google has again conducted a test on Google.com where it places information cards at the bottom of the search page. The last time the American search giant conducted such a test was in February of this year.

Compared to then, it seems that Google has chosen to show larger information cards. A new card has also been added in which the user is introduced to ‘the new google.com’ and asked to log in. Once that is done, the user can indicate different information cards that will be displayed on the then personalized Google.com page.

Among the options are maps that should be able to show the air quality in a location, how the stock market is doing or what events are happening in the area. Other cards show current sports results, the most popular search terms of the moment or viewing suggestions. Google also provides a toggle at the bottom of the page to hide the information cards again. It also says that the information on the tickets is collected based on ‘past activity’.

9to5Google got air of the new test by two users. One of those users wrote on Twitter that he had cleared his browser history, cache, and cookies before seeing the changes on Google.com. It is unclear whether these actions automatically activate the new Google.com test environment.
