    Google tests showing answers under ‘people also ask’ feature

    Google shows answers to the questions you didn't even think you were asking with this new Google search results test.

    Google is now testing a new feature within the “people also ask” search results box.

    Instead of just showing additional questions people might ask around a query you entered into the search results, Google is now testing showing a snippet of the answer directly below the question.

    Sergey Alakov noticed it and posted this screen shot of it:

    I personally cannot replicate this, but I am not surprised Google is testing it.
