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.

    I know this won’t be the answer people want, but to be perfectly frank if I know I want the IMDb page for a movie, I put IMDb in the query. It will put the page you want right at the top, none of that extra shit, and it will even probably predict what you’re typing before you finish.

      separately, imdb itself has been enshittified enough that, most times, i don’t want the imdb page as a search result.

      imdb wasn’t really the point, that’s on me, I could have also just tapped imdb on the card at the very top. It’s the other sites that I don’t know to search for that I would like to see promoted
