Google Now and Google Search are updated

Google has changed more than just its logo. The company announced that it has made some changes to Google Now and Google Search. From now on, Google Now cards will be arranged by category. For example, under the "Upcoming" category, you might find an appointment that you have in a few hours to change your tires. Under "Updates for you," cards will pop up showing the weather, or current quotes for stocks that you are interested in. "Stories to read" features informative content from various media that you probably would enjoy reading.

Another interesting new feature in Google Now changes the size of each card depending on how important the subject matter of the card is. And this is a dynamic feature that changes throughout the day. For example, as you get closer to an afternoon appointment, the cards reminding you about it grow bigger.

The changes to Google Search now allow you to quickly swipe your way through images, video and news related to what you are searching for. On  those days when there is a special Google doodle, you'll find it at the top of the page. The icon for the Google app is now the multi-colored "G" that we showed you yesterday.

Google says that other branded apps will be updated in the days ahead to reflect its new look.
