Edit:

The poll stopped me in my tracks but it’s actually even worse.

It should not take this long to get to imdb

Edit2: didn’t even realize it thinks I’ll “love it” based on things I look up. I don’t think I’d like it.

Edit³: IMDb was the example I used without thinking. I’m aware that there’s a link to it in the top card. It’s the other web results that I don’t already know about that I’d like to see. I now know there’s a hidden “web” tab. There’s also https://www.google.com/search?udm=14&q=example` but it’s still mildly infuriating that you have to know about these things to get the basic results we expected for years.

    But this genuinely feels sensible?

    The generated abstract includes the commonly needed links - including the IMDB you want and Rotten Tomatoes that I frequently want - and the very first result after that is Wikipedia for when you need that.

    It’s like the best abstraction so you don’t have to wade through results, correctly understanding that if you search by just the title, you probably want information of through-links to common information/review sites.

      They took it too far. A few cards can be convenient (though I feel bad for site runners) but the poll?
