Google gives search a new engine and card UI

Google's feeling a bit nostalgic these days, as today is the company's 15th anniversary. However, its look at the past is a fleeting thing, and Big G is very much focused on the future, so it revealed a host of new features for search. First up, users will be seeing a new card-based UI that's been making its way across all of Google's services. Aside from providing a consistent brand-wide appearance, the new UI also delivers an easier way for folks to drill down on answers to their queries. For example, when searching for a particular band, a card will pop up at the top with a list of songs that can be scrolled side to side.
