Google took the step of ‘reintroducing’ its featured snippets last week, as it announced a couple of big changes to the way in which answers are displayed in Google search results.

With rich snippets playing a big role in projects such as voice search, Google is developing them to provide more detailed and more customisable answers.

The new features will provide more information in the search result and, in cases where there may be more than one answer to a query, will allow users to refine their answer without leaving the Google search result.
