How can Google foster the love for music? What intent lies behind a song query?
Songs OSRP (Organized Search Result Page)
“10 blue links” is what Google was known for. But what do users really want when they ask about a song?
Songs OSRP was one of the first to launch the tabs design on Google Search. As a UXer, my role was to identify user intents and the features that satisfy these needs.
Impact
Foundation to the experience now (see example) and one of the first OSRP experiences to launch.
Stress-tested Google new design system, Eames, which refined the design system to be more robust and scalable.
Proposed and designed research into visual facts' tappability, confirming the direction to utilize more imagery in OSRP and SRP.
