Performance has been improved by offering up answers to queries before all search results load. This speeds up the user experience by giving (hopefully) the most relevant search results before waiting for more results to load.

This is similar to what Google is doing with their Knowledge Graph, which also shows quick, relevant information at the top of the page.
