Google Testing Desktop-Style Mobile Search Results

However the one downfall to the more Google desktop look is that it does push the results further down on the screen, although normally most users do not have the search tools displayed on their search results.  But this slight tweak with the results pushed down means that users probably won’t like it as much from a practical point of view.

If there are also AdWords ads added to the search results, it could also completely push organic results down below the fold.
