>My bet would be under 1% of users

Agreed, probably more like .001%. I was once told by the head of search for a major search engine (not G), that even the advanced search link was used by less than 2% of their users.

wonder what else they're going to add in the 'more' flyout? they have the similar link in there as well as cacched, on some things.

I do quite like the preview on ads now though. Wonder what thats doing to the CTR....

I don't know, but moving forward, another design criteria will be "does the thumbnail draw you in?"

Seen a couple of sites lose their preview since the flyout was added.  Worth checking.
