Google search still happens, it’s just your agent doing it.

Google search is basically Gemini now. You get a Gemini summation including several links.

"You get a Gemini summation including several links."

Who does "you" refer to

Me, I don't get a Gemini summation (Tested with old version of Chrome)

As such I do not believe that "Google search is basically Gemini now"

I believe Google search is still scanning through a doclist to find which documents, if any, contain words parsed from a query. These documents are pointed to by the URLs I get in the SERPs

I do not get any Gemini summation


Why use the term "you"

Does it mean the HN reader

What if that reader is "non-typical"

HN comments have argued for many years that HN users are not representative of the majority of www users


I have read that some HN users do not like "AI summaries"

A typical US user using a typical browser with typical settings gets an AI summary above search results.

If this doesn’t describe you, then ymmv. Talk to your government or turn down your content filtering or reset the default settings in your browser, if you want to see what we see.
