Don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but Google has changed the way it displays those extra links that sometimes appear beneath the top result:

When this was first introduced, it was discussed here (in July 2005):

Back then, they didn't show the URL and often displayed two links to a line. Now they've added the URLs and given each its own line, the top result can take up much more space on the SERP. Is that a good thing?

At the time, nobody seems to know how those links are selected. I still don't know. Does anyone here have any idea?

This works for me too
only if I add "&hl=en" at the URL...

Merci beaucoup, Tony ("gentle hacker" :-])
