Google expands snippets to answer more questions right in the search results

Techcrunch -------- For years, Google’s “featured snippets” have offered quick answers to users’ search queries by pulling information from web pages and placing it in a box above the search results. This week, Google began rolling out a new snippet experience for web searchers with multiple answers to the question posed in the search box – something that addresses the problem of Google not always understanding the intent behind your query. As the company explains in a blog post, there are some questions that can be interpreted in different ways. For example, the query “garden needs full sun?” could mean the searcher was asking “what garden plants need full sun?” or “what counts as full sun?” Google’s multifaceted featured snippets, as the new feature is called, will answer both questions with one snippet placed above the other, ahead of the search results.
