Google is testing a small search results experiment where it is showing an arrow by the title of the snippets in the search results. Sergey Alakov spotted this and shared a screen shot of it on Twitter.

Sergey said he believes this is aimed at distracting searchers from seeing if this is an ad. The arrow points away from the ad label and the URL and towards the title.
Forum discussion at Twitter.
Update: Here are more arrow tests:

Looks like G is testing arrows beside sitelinks again. This time with grey arrows instead of the blue ones that were previously reported on by @rustybrick here: https://t.co/KEaLSgunjY pic.twitter.com/OJruwfxOSV
