That blue colour really doesn't work for me (I wonder if that's the blue they wanted when they tested 41 shades? http://stopdesign.com/archive/2009/03/20/goodbye-google.html). Perhaps if they had a drop shadow on a reflective surface too? ;-) Am joking...
The functionality is useful - I've been using it for a while in Google news where I can filter out all but the most recent stories. The buttons on the dropdown are needed because the existing buttons are covered which seems like a real cludge to me - a more elegant way is to have the buttons on the side like they used to but that limits the horizontal space for queries - I'm guessing that a large number of queries must require a lot of space. Agreed that the icons could be a little better but I disagree with the author that page counts aren't used because I use them myself as navigation markers and aides to check on my search strategy. Having said that, I may be different to most other searchers but haven't tested that aspect of searching myself so can't say with confidence. Does it work on IE6? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
