Google Displaying Less Sitelinks For The Past Couple Months

The other day, I reported on Search Engine Land that Google seems to be showing fewer sitelinks in the search snippets.

Google Search is testing a new design for the search bar menu items, where Google shows images, videos, news, etc under the search bar. Instead of the normal links with icons, Google is testing shading them in blue and grayish background button like colors.
