As you have noted, if Google Search looks different only when signed in to a particular Google account, you're probably seeing a Google Live Experiment (or perhaps an experiment gone wrong!).
Google constantly targets random accounts with experimental variations to the Search and Image Search interfaces. Sometimes the differences are barely noticeable. Other variations are much more obvious.
Please refer to this FAQ thread for more information:
Live experiments usually last only a week or two. If you see the unusual behaviour for longer than this, try clearing browser cookies and cache.
As this is a user-to-user community, there's nothing we can do about this. Please send your feedback direct to Google using the "Send Feedback" link at the bottom of the results page (desktop/laptop), or the in-app "Send Feedback" feature (mobile/tablet).
