The change that Google has made is that they have taken the tools to the top of the page, thereby giving more space to the left hand side of the screen as well. The advanced tools that you are used to are still there to be used. The users are required to click the “Search tools”.

In the older version of the search page, the categories like News, Blogs, or Images were on the left hand side. Google is trying to cater as much to the users as possible by making changes in the search results, brining out tablets as well as many other services they are already offering.
