Google has been busy de-cluttering its web results page again. The 'similar' pages link disappeared from entries on the results page a while ago and was moved to the preview copies of results pages. Now the cached link has gone as has the magnifying glass for the preview. Hover over a result, though, and a double arrow appears to the right of it. Click on the arrow and the preview copy appears along with the 'Cached' link and sometimes a 'Similar' link.
I've noticed that fewer pages have a Similar link, which makes me wonder if Google will do away with it all together in the not distant future. If Google carries on at this rate there won't be anything on the results page at all!
Please note: this is what I see on my screen. What you see may be totally different.
