YouTube Displays Sitelinks for Similar Videos

youtube sitelinks3There is an interesting addition to the Google search results that is currently showing up for very specific YouTube searches.

ReelSEO spotted the test last week when doing a specific search with the title of a video.  The search resulted in the YouTube result, but also the addition of sitelinks featuring other similar videos.

This does seem to have been a test, as doing another search for this today instead displays this, and not sitelinks.
