      Can anyone point me to information about the "mini" site links on the Google search results or tell me how to get them set up?  These aren't the full site links that show 3 by 3 under the first listing but small text links that appear for certain results.  (See attached image for reference.) Are these something that can controlled/requested?

        It's in your Webmaster Tools.  You can suggest which ones you want to appear down there, if you get the option for a particular search.  However, just because suggest it doesn't mean it will happen.

          Thanks for the suggestion but I don't think this is same thing.  In Webmasters you used to be able to suggest for the full site links display but that change and now you can only request links be demoted.  What I am looking at are the mini site links (not sure what they are really called) that appear sporadically in SERP listings.  The attached screenshot in the original post illustrates what I am talking about.

            You don't really have control over if Google's going to display that for your site. You want to set up your site's major pages properly in order to get the best chance at Google displaying them. However, you don't get to decide.

            You can, however, remove or suggest changes for them in GWT. But I believe in order to do so, Google must already have decided to list them for you.

              I actually have related question.

              I'm trying to find solid information on Google's criteria on showing a "mini Google search box" within sitelinks?

              Example: if you type-in "wikipedia" on Google.com, a mini search box appears within the site links. This is for organic listing not paid listing.

              The Google Support page on Sitelinks does not state any info on the mini google search box. http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=47334

              Any help?
