Default Orion search algorithm

I just noticed this in the SERPs today. A little blue arrow is displayed with the ALT text, "Click for more information".

Here is an article: http://www.informationweek.com/inter...leID=185300566

Orion finds pages where the content is about a topic strongly related to the keyword, and then returns a section of the page
So does this mean pages need to have more keyword rich content? I don't understand how this is different that the previous algo (not that I knew what that was ). But I'm thinking that this is what SEs should have been doing all along. Maybe this is way above my pay grade and I'm missing the whole point. Someone please splain.

That was from earlier today. I'm no longer seeing the Orion links. I've went ahead and checked multiple datacenters without any luck. Who knows... maybe tomorrow.
