Google is testing displaying a enterprise profile itemizing in an overlay interface inside the internet search outcomes as an alternative of taking you into the Google Maps interface. So if you click on on a enterprise itemizing within the native pack, as an alternative of it taking you into Google Maps to view extra particulars on that enterprise, Google is testing overlaying that enterprise profile itemizing within the internet search outcomes.
Colan Nielsen noticed this and posted this screenshot of it on Twitter:
