Google News is now showing the top web search result listing in the news results when the query has navigational intent.
For example, if you search Google News for [ask.fm] at the top of the
search results page, you will see a search snippet and link to their
web site. Clicking on the link takes you to the ask.fm web site and not
to a news story. Clicking on the “all results” link below that
listing, takes you to more web results. Below that, you will find the
news results.
Here is a screen shot:
This works for me sporadically for searches on large and even small
brands. It works for searching in Google News for [apple], [microsoft],
[microsoft.com], and others. But doesn’t seem to work when I search
for some other large brands, such as [mcdonalds]. It does even work for
smaller brands, such as searching for [rustybrick] but does not work
when searching for [search engine land] or even [searchengineland.com].
