Google shopping results half way down page

[Mark H]

I've noticed recently that some of Google's shopping results are down the page, not at the top:

Is this significant, or just a bit of Google weirdness?

I noticed that around a month or so ago - Google seems to be doing a lot of tweaking and fine tuning lately.

I've seen Products results show up half way down the page - and a lot of page splitting, too (ie. two or three results at the top, then a line break, then a couple more results, then another line break, and then the rest of the results).

Why they're doing it, I don't know. What I do know is that they seem to favour our site when the page splits come in to play:D

OK now I'm getting cynical!

Google's Chrome browser is showing the first three lines from the shopping results as you would expect, but these are not now appearing at all in IE - is Google serving different content?
