  I always thought there was something about "I feel lucky" that attracted my attention and now I know what it is: it was the desire to get my answer in a single click, instead of constant searching. That's exactly what's going on now - we're transitioning from searching and researching using Google or Bing, to asking a question and getting an answer.

  Love to hear from the community about their thoughts on this vision for the future of search, and moving beyond just showing the first "ten blue links" for a query response.

  - When search can now output an answer to your query, what additional information is important for you to know to trust the answer?

  - What information from citations for a summary is important to you?
