While pointing to other Topics while searching in YouTube will likely result in more searches, I wonder if the same would be true if Google added the same feature to its search results on Google.com?

Google is a question engine that already has the right answers.

Gootter.com Google.com + Twitter.com will answer your questions before you ask them.
