Google Testing Colored Dots in Tablet Results Too

Archwings Global spotted the test.  This one is interesting because Google doesn’t normally categorize tablets as mobile, as you can see with the added notations such as the “About 12,700 results 0.62 seconds” and the lack of a “mobile-friendly” tag.  With it showing up in tablets, it is likely it is also being displayed for desktop as well.

This is very similar to another related test that Google has been running, but on mobile search results.  Barry Schwartz posted last week with these Google colored dots appearing in the mobile search results as well.
