alt Hacker News> Search died ages ago
You might want to let Google know that, because the number of searches on Google appears to continue to be growing massively:

Those numbers look like the exact opposite of dead or dying to me. As does Google's growing stock price over the same time period.

The policy described in my link is literally about making each user search more to get the results they want in order to drive more ad revenue. That would create more searches and a less good user experience.

That is good evidence that Google is dying because it takes more than one search query to find what you want.
‘Numbers go up’ is the exact type of thinking that caused the death of search.
From a user perspective, google search results are awful and almost always a complete waste of time.
