The next time you head over to Yahoo to search for something, you might notice that it looks a bit different, perhaps a tad more like Google.   

Marissa Mayer and Co. on Wednesday introduced a new design for Yahoo search, putting results higher up and introducing a new Google-esque navigation bar at the top of the page. The company also made some behind-the-scenes changes that it says should make the page load faster.

All of these changes are aimed at giving you the results you're looking for even quicker. Check out the GIF below for a before and after.

"Whether you're searching for that perfect summer vacation spot or a nearby Ethiopian restaurant, finding what you're looking for should be fast and easy," Yahoo's senior vice president of search, Laurie Mann, wrote in a blog post. "And, we think that it can also be beautiful. Today we're excited to introduce a new, modern design for Web search in the U.S. that puts your results front and center."

The new navigation bar at the very top of the page lets you easily access Yahoo Mail, News, Sports, Finance, Weather, Games, Groups, Answers, and Flickr with a single click. You can also click the option for "More" to see an alphabetized list of Yahoo's products and services. Yahoo said it will be rolling out this navigation bar across its other properties in the future.

The fresh search page design is consistent with Yahoo's recently revamped homepage, which rolled out in February and incorporates a newsfeed of the day's top stories. It looks like this is just the beginning of the changes Yahoo has in the works for its search page.

"Over the coming months, you'll see more from Yahoo as we work to deliver a search experience that combines utility with beauty and gets you to your results faster," Mann wrote. "Today's news is just our first step."
