I miss the old iPhone Google... the one that displayed images, weather, news, and search results within the same results page - all perfectly scaled to fit the iPhone both portrait or landscape. The new app doesn't fit search results across the entire screen in landscape mode. This really bugs me - its hard to read.

I can see how this new version might be nicer for people who use all of Google's services, but for me its not. I route my Gmail through the iPhone's mail app and all I want is a nice, clean search engine. I want my old google back. Anyone agree? Am I missing something?

According to this thread (see post #2): https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/408641/ there is a way to force Google to load the full version of their site.
