INFO!= DEFINE

It looks like when you use the "info" or "information" operator, Google will return onebox results only from Wikipedia. The "define" operator still displays results from other sources.

That's Google Q&A and it's far from new. There's no "info" or "information" operator.

For example, see my post from July last year:

Ionut is absolutely right, it's the same of "what is?" or "who is?" operators.

Just because one (http://www.micropersuasion.com/2007/01/wikipedia_added.html) discovered by accident this "operator", he thinks it's new, and everybody think it's new so they write article quoting their source (http://googlified.com/2007wikipedia-oneboxed/) or not (http://www.ojobuscador.com/2007/01/29/google-anade-la-wikipedia-a-sus-resultados/) ...

Because you know every site that mentioned the "Wikipedia onebox". Even the Spanish ojobuscador.
