New-Look Search Sites Aim to Close Google Gap - New York Times

This “product guide,” which includes information culled from sites like Amazon.com and PriceGrabber.com, will be followed by traditional search results.

The idea is to try to anticipate what users want, said Satya Nadella, corporate vice president of the search and advertising platform group at Microsoft.
