Yahoo announced they launched a new design for their Yahoo Search search results page.

The new design promises an improvement, by:

Improving the load time of the results
Moving the search results higher up on the page
Adding the new navigation bar at the top of the page
Having a more consistent look with the Yahoo homepage

Yahoo also promises to roll out the top bar you see on the home page and on the search results page throughout more and more Yahoo properties going forward.

Here is a video of the new look:

Seems like webmasters are happy with the change.
