Google users who take advantage of Google’s email alerts based on searches may have noticed a new format that rolled out over the past week. The emails that show up in a user’s inbox incorporate many of the “card” design cues that Google is spreading throughout their services. The format draws more attention to headlines and separates the stories with dividers.

Along with the formatting changes, Google has added the ability to share stories to Google+, Facebook or Twitter with the click of a button embedded with each item listed. A link is also provided so users can “Flag as irrelevant” any stories they think should not have shown up. This will help Google refine the search algorithms. Below is a screenshot of the old format for comparison with the new format pictured above.
