Google announced a new Google field trial experiment for a feature they’ve been quietly testing named Quick View.
The Google Quick View badge is found on a select number of sites when a searcher uses Google Mobile search from their smartphone. The feature is currently working for Wikipedia on searches done in English on Google.com. It basically will give you an almost instant view of the Wikipedia page when clicked on.
Google says the Quick View will show you the Wikipedia page “immediately.”
