I don't find this surprising or troubling at all. The first result in a search should be the quick reference for a general audience. Wikipedia, IMBD, and Amazon all accomplish this quite nicely. Those interested in more in-depth info will search further down. I love how http://duckduckgo.com/ http://duckduckgo.com/ does this, pulling the info directly from wikipedia and putting it on the first page itself. The only thing keeping me from using DDG as my primary search is the lack of integration with maps, images, etc.
