Can you please post the link to your classic version? I'd like to see what happens when I hit that link from a different platform.

- mwexler 15y agoUsing User Agent Switcher on Firefox, I set my UA to iPad and went to Google. The link for the "Classic" version was: http://www.google.com/?hl=en&tbo=d&output=search¬a=1&sa=X&ei=Nj6DTqeHPITMgQeV5pAh&ved=0CAAQyRM http://www.google.com/?hl=en&tbo=d&output=search&... However, when I set my UA back to Default (Firefox), this link did not appear to do anything. YMMV.

- anon1385 15y agohttp://www.google.com/search?q=test¬a=1 http://www.google.com/search?q=test¬a=1 seems to trigger the 'classic' layout when visiting with an iPad user agent. When visiting with an iPhone user agent 'nota' is replaced with 'nomo' to get the classic layout. Both offer the cache links (they appear to be the same page, at a glance). Sadly they are doing user agent sniffing and those parameters do nothing when I revert my user-agent back to the desktop Safari default. It seems that nearly all Google sites do user agent sniffing to determine what version of the site to serve, sometimes even going as far as to prevent you logging in at all if you aren't using an approved browser [1].
