Earlier this month, Yahoo! Japan came out with new search box with simpler design. While it doesn’t look much different from the older version, the new design was put together through various trials and tests over a year from colors, sizes, and textures, hoping to provide better search experiences no matter what devices the searchers use. The search menus above the search box were left untouched to avoid the confusions when using the search options.
