Google's rich answer box is a relatively new feature that provides searchers with direct answers to their questions at the top of the search page.

A rich answer is an attempt by Google to answer the searcher's query in search results in a way not requiring a click through to a website. Rich answers come in many forms which can be sports scores, stock graphs, calculators, sliders, text-based answers, numbered step-by-step directions, maps, and much more.
