Google Image Search has turned 25 years old and with that, Google has decided to completely revamp the Google Image Search home page at images.google.com from a clean search box, to a gallery of image collections.

“Today, we’re introducing a brand new browseable home for Google Images, featuring a dynamic, immersive gallery of images from across the web — updated in real time and intelligently tailored to your unique interests,” Brad Kellet, Senior Engineering Director, Search announced.

What it looks like. Here is a screenshot of the new Google Image Search homepage:

This is what the old Google Image Search home page looked like:

Features as well. Google is not only showing a gallery of images on its new image search home page but there are search features as well. The search box is at the top, where you can search by text, voice, by image and so forth.

You can also browse and save ideas to your collections on Google Image Search. Those images will appear as tabs above the main gallery, making it easy to jump back in and continue exploring based on what inspires you, Google explained.

Here are screenshots of how that works:

Availability. Google said this new Google Images home page will roll out over the coming weeks on desktop in the U.S. in English. You will need to sign in to your Google Account to try it out.

Google updated the canonicalization troubleshooting guide to clarify how long it may take for Google to reflect those fixes within the Google search results. Google said “after fixing content issues, Google might hold pages in a duplicate cluster for up to two weeks.”

What was changed. Google added a whole new section of content to the top of the page specifying the timing of canonicalization fixes, i.e. up to two weeks. Google also spoke about clustering and how pages need to be different enough to be clustered or canonicalized as one.

Here is what was added:

Why we care. Knowing canonicalization fixes can take up to two weeks after Google processes your fix is good to know. This way, you don’t keep trying to make changes to the page until Google has had the full two weeks to handle your update.
