This looks interesting!
According to a recent experiment by Razvan Antonescu Google has started including “Plus box” video results in organic search results.

We couldn’t get the same thing to happen for us, but we are sure it will pop up again!

We think the plus box is an excellent feature allowing users the option of more information if they require it without effectign the regular search results. [...]
