This means searches are still happening, just being routed elsewhere?

I noticed Google's new AI summary let's me click on a link in the summary and the links are posted to the right.

Those clicks are available, might not be discovered yet, curious though if those show up anywhere as data.

Google being able to create summaries off actual web search results will be an interesting take compared to other models trying to get the same done without similar search results at their disposal.

The new search engine could be google doing the search and compiling the results for us how we do manually.

And may get them in some anti-trust trouble once publishers start fighting back, similar to AMP, or their thing with Genius and song lyrics. Turns out site owners don't like when Google takes their content and displays it to users without forcing said users to click through to the actual website.

They have decades of data to map queries to pages. They also have access to crawl the pages in advance.
