Ok so I have heard so many things about Spotlight being integrated into Safari for Maps, iTunes, Wikipedia, etc. I have never seen it in action and I was wondering if anyone could either give me an explanation of how this works or provide me with a video to see how it works?

When you search for.. let's say Robin Williams, it'll offer suggestion for his Wikipedia article.

When you search for... Guardians of the Galaxy, it'll offer suggestions from Rotten Tomatoes.

Ohhhh ok thank you for the screenshots. Can you please tell me what happens when you click them? BESIDES the wikipedia one. Like when you click the maps link does it open a webpage or the Apple Maps?

It brings up webpages except for maps. I've attached the screenshot for maps. It does animate by shrinking the border then popping in the text.
