Restore/Revert Back Old Google Search Box and Font Size

Posted By Keith Dsouza On September 11, 2009 @ 10:06 pm In How To | 2 Comments

Google recently rolled out new changes to the homepage where they increased the the size of the search box and the size of the font to make it a lot more larger.

The bigger font is definitely not appealing and I guess many of you might agree with me, if you are looking to revert back to the old search box and font size in Google you can do so by using a Greasemonkey [1] script.

google_search_before

Once you have installed the script it will revert back the size of the search box and font size to the one we are all so used to.

The script works in both Firefox [2] and Google Chrome [3], but you will have to enable userscript support in Google Chrome [4] before you can use it.
