Visual ads, long absent from Google’s search results, opened on the site in the form of expandable video ads today. Google took another step away from its history as a minimalist provider of relevant search results. Along with the One Box ads atop search results, and the right sidebar of ads, Google will place another monetization component on those pages.

Details of the move appeared on the Bits Blog.
