Google Play changes the appearance of its search bar
Thus, the new search bar is already active on front page No need to access it after clicking the magnifying glass icon. In this way, you only have to click on the space where you can read Google Play to start writing the search terms. This fact causes a useful and very colorful animation in this search bar. And, with this, a card is displayed in a hamburger format (by layers) to show recent searches All this by rotating the menu icon and transforming it into an arrowVery detailed issues that have a direct impact on the user experience, making it more fluid and understanding where each element that appears on the screen comes from. One of the maxims of the Material Design style that Google has developed and is taking to every corner of its applications and services.
This search bar has also changed when the user accesses them from the download page of some content from Google Play, or from specific sections. In this case the bar is again hidden behind the magnifying glass icon, but it appears with a progressive animation from right to leftand with the white background appearance seen on the home screen. In addition, it also redisplays previous searches to ease the process of finding something already searched for previously.
Along with these issues, this new search bar is completely hidden when scrolling through the rest of the page, disappearing to allow more spacefor the content. Just go back to the top to make it appear again and do a quick search.
In short, a minimal style change but one that ends up taking on great importance as it is a widely used function. One less step for the user and a much more lively and dynamic visual aspect. The update of this aspect seems to be coming through the servers of Google, so there is no new version of the application as such Google Play Store All that remains is to wait for it to arrive in the next days to all users.
