    What does this mean - "Energy Saving Search"??

    It still took same amount of energy from my hands to type in as if I have used normal Google!!

    It means that they think that changing web sites to use a predominantly dark colour scheme, rather than predominantly white, will save energy.

    Whilst a nice, pleasant, pat-on-the-back sort of thought, it falls down when you realise how unscientific the basis for it is.

    I don't think this site is an official google site.

    However if google can just come out with www.googleb.com that does something similar, that would be great too.

    If you are going to post something like that, you need to tag it as not work appropriate.
