    I have got one too but it is on the left and like you I don't like it. Can you send them an email asking why it is there and how to get rid?

    Why are you Fuming with Google?

    It's their site, they can do what they want. Do you pay them for using it??

    I don't like it either but although it changes the page layout, it is only slightly (mine too is on the left though, nothing changed on the right).

    Google have changed the layout of THEIR website. If you don't like it don't use it. There are lots of other search engines, you could try Bing for example.

    Maybe they haven't converted your street yet.

    Rather nice Peter Pan logo today.

    If you don't like it you could try Bing, Bing Is Not Google.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Can you suggest any search engines that have a layout as simple as Googles old one? Because if you can I'd be happy to use it, I haven't found one yet Bing also has a useless sidebar.

    I've always used Google because it had the cleanest results page without any other clutter, now it doesn't.

    I think that in many ways people do have a right to complain about it, after all Google makes a lot of money from its site and that's because it has so many users. At the very least they could let people choose between the old layout and the new one. I've not really got a problem with the new look but the layout is just untidy and too complicated in my opinion.

    The side bar is not useless.

    The new Google is much better than the old one.

    It's a classic case of making it "user friendly" at the cost of functionality.
