We've been doing similar things at Duck Duck Go (http://duckduckgo.com/) to these new Google changes. In particular, we put zero-click info, e.g. topic summaries, on top of links. We also also put an explore box with related topics above links. For example check out http://duckduckgo.com/?q=fu...

Our snippets and related topics are not algorithmically driven, however. Instead they are based on human edited sources, e.g. Wikipedia and Crunchbase (and many others). Consequently, they are more relevant and make more sense than Google's info. We also have more semantic properties, such as ambiguous keyword detection, e.g. http://duckduckgo.com/?q=apple, which of course Google does not.

See http://duckduckgo.com/about... for some more examples. Of course, we'd love your feedback on what we're doing.

Good. It will somehow satisfy those users of the search result page.
I think better innovation of G-team.

I love them. The SearchWiki feature was already extremely appreciated in my case, and each and every feature that can cover more details about the said searches is key for me. Good job for that latest idea, hope they keep faith in the 'timeline' and 'info' search designs to develop some of these in the future.

Is Google inching down the semantic search road a bit further with its new "Associated Search" feature?
