    Are they disabling search to force an initiative or are they disabling search because they can’t separate it from the AI features anymore?

      Even in the worst case scenario, it would be as easy as making the AI <div> invisible. Which is a 5 minute job. Well, for a bug tech company 10 hours, since they are horribly inefficient. But 10 hours is nothing in order to please a customer at the scale of Google.

      The search is still there. It’s just pushed down by the AI window. Which takes a great part of the screen.
