Being annoyed with google is nothing new or out of the ordinary,
But at least it used to pretend to be a proper search engine..

Recently, it seems impossible to just type a word to search it's spelling and definition.

All the results are now pages of links to products using that word as a name.

Not even the "Searches related to ...."
at the bottom of the page provide any other links
than to these products..

Yeah, ok, it's no great hardship typing "definition" immediately after the needed word,
But even so...

How much advertising revenue would google lose,
if they still grudgingly provided the definition as the first link
at the top of the page...???

pfr, a grumpy old git
who grew up with printed paper dictionaries and encyclopedias...
