It seems like Google added a new direct answer service, a whois information for domains. If you’ll enter a query in this format whois kontrepelo.com, you’ll get a result of the domain details such as date of registration and expiration together with a link to more about the domain at the domain tool site.
I’ve read about this feature from a note by Matt Cutts though Google hasn’t announced about this feature yet.
One thing I have noticed is that it only works with top level domains and not with cctld…I wonder why!
