Google Now Test Interactive Card Knowledge Box Layout

The other day we covered a knowledge box card layout, but now Google is testing a more interactive version of this card layout. When you click on the cards they expand and show more details.

Limited Google Search Bug Showing Only One Result To Some Users

But for Google, even one percent of searchers are a lot of searches. Google said they will investigate these reports.
