This must be regional, because it certainly doesn't show that for me in the UK, top two results are the wikipedia articles for the vegetable (capsicum) and black pepper.

It's not even just a region thing, it's a more individual history based customisation. Google quickly adapts based on things you search. For example I know if I google some keywords right now I'll likely get information about a detail in a computer game I play even without specifying. At other times when I'm more into other hobbies it would be more likely to show more general results.

  I'm getting a ton of what appears to be malvertising fake sites recently in Google Search, hosted in what appears to be compromised government websites in emerging markets. Google Search isn't just adapting, something is broken about it.

  > It's not even just a region thing, it's a more individual history based customisation. Not in this case. There's absolutely nothing in my search history to say I'd be more interested in bras, but Pepper-the-bra-company is the first result when I search "pepper". It's also the first result the Wayback Machine sees: https://web.archive.org/web/20220216050301/https://www.google.com/search?q=pepper https://web.archive.org/web/20220216050301/https://www.googl...
