Now, instead of just the one line of blue links that take you to the page in the search results, Google has a new feature that is showing sections of pages that might be of more value and interest to you.
You no longer need to see the same old Wikipedia page, now you might see the sub sections of that page right in the search results of Google, click on those links, and be taken directly to that page.
