    Basically, the feature of when I put my cursor over an image, and it gets to be bigger, doesn't happen any more, when I click on an image to see it in its own window, the slide show on the right isn't there anymore. I tried testing this out on yahoo search engine, and that worked there. I do not know why this is no longer present in google search. I tested this in chrom and IE, and it only happens on google search in either browser. I would like to know if it may have been a setting or something of the sort, that could have been changed, to have this type of feature no long present in google search. I would like help getting google search back to the way I like it. The way Yahoo search functions that I described earlier. Thank you for the help in advance. I hope to have this issue resolved soon.

    Okay, that explains when I open the image in a new tab, but what about the when I put my mouse cursor over an image result, and it does not expand like it used to? Is that an optional thing or is that gone? Like I originally said, yahoo search still has that format/feature. I like it, putting my cursor over an image to show more of the image if it is cropped off a bit. I like google too, but honestly, is that feature, not clicking on the image, but putting the cursor over an image to see its full image (well in a mini format at least) is gone from google now?

    Instead of sending you over to a whole new page to preview an image, you’ll see a preview of the image in your search results. Once you click on an image, you can quickly flip through the whole set of image previews using your keyboard. Your search results stay in the panel so you don’t lose track of what you were doing; if you want to go back to looking at other search results, you can just scroll down and pick up right where you left off. If you want to check out the website where the image is hosted, you can click on the photo or use the tools available.

    Doesn't say anything about what you want to do. I would say that they changed it and there is nothing you can do except complain to Google.
