Today google has launched two new refinements in their search engine results page. The first one being better search refinements. They are using physics as an example to demonstrate google knowing and returning more valued information based upon the query, the second example they are using is translations from another language. Very interesting stuff.
The second part of this google update is longer snippet length. If you are unfamiliar with what a snippet is, it is the portion of text underneath the title. This is great from a search engine marketing position since now we have more space to layout a great eye catching description. I am not sure however if this will encompass all results or just some. We shall see as the months progress.
