Google Squared Comes to Web Search Results

Google Squared Powers Answer Sources & Something Different Refinements, Barry Schwartz, Search Engine Land (May 12)

Something to watch for -- "Currently, Google Squared powers the “sources” displayed for the “best answers” one box and it also powers the new “something different” refinements on the new Google design."

Best Answers don't show very often - and no longer show for the example used in the posting (iron man 2 release date). Something Different is also occasional - depending on your topic and relationships with other topics. For oil spill we see other kinds of environmental disasters such as forest fire, chemical spill, and landslide.

Google Blog has a longer posting that explains Best Answers and Something Different.
