Looks like Google is rolling out a nice little update to its search bar. We have been testing this new feature this morning and it seems to be intermittent just now which could mean that it could still be under development. The new feature will now make the navigation bar at the top of the page sticky, this makes perfect sense as users want the ability to modify their search queries and click other links that are part of the navigation bar while they are scrolling on the page.
This could also be the reason that Google has decided to remove the search bar at the bottom of its page. Hopefully this update will also be rolled out to other Google products like G+, Gmail and Google Reader soon, which will give users a universal experience across all of Google properties.
