Google provides instant answers for most medical queries, calculations, celebrities, sports, news, weather, how-tos, definitions, reviews, map, shopping, images, etc. Most people don't search outside of queries that google can answer from their own sources frequently so this seems plausible.
- jfk13 6y agoIt provides instant answers, but in my experience they're frequently not the answer to what you actually asked, or they're just plain wrong. (YMMV: it depends on your specific searches, I'm sure.)
- rchaud 6y agoThis type of "no-click search" is infuriating because of how often people take the snippet Google spits out at face value, without the context that a full article might have provided.
- deckard1 6y agoThose instant answer cards are often wrong. Perhaps more troubling are the instant answers Google gives you but you aren't aware they are wrong. It's the Gell-Mann Amnesia. Considering 2/3rd of searches end there, I wonder how many people are walking around with false information that Google fed them.
