Screen capture of Google search results

Interesting. I did a Google search today, and here's a quick screen capture. Notice instead of the usual general tip, such as "Find maps by searching for a street address with city or zip code" or a link to a related service, Google is suggesting very specific ways I can refine this search. I'm still looking, but I can't find any documentation on this feature. That makes me wonder if what I'm seeing is part of a limited test for one of many promised home page revisions.

If this is a test, I have to say, please go with this one, Google. This was a very logical way to help revise searches and find specific information.

That has actually been there for quite some time. I used it months ago to help understand the symptoms of Reynaud’s Disease that I got diagnosed with.

Interesting. I wonder if I just never saw it, because I don’t often search for medical conditions. Thanks for letting me know.
