Well, yeah, there are multiple things feeding into the results page they generate for you. Not just two. There’s the search results, there’s an algorithmic widget that shows different things (so a calculator if you input some math, a translation box if you input a translation request, a summary of Wikipedia or IMDB if you search for a movie or a performer, that type of thing). And there is a pop-up window with an LLM-generated summary of the search results now.
Those are all different pieces. Your search resutls for “3 divided by 7” aren’t different because they also pop up a calculator for you at the top of the page.
I see, you’re splitting the UI from the backend as two different things, and Im seeing them as parts to a whole.

Yeah, for some reason I was thinking you were trying to say that bolting on widgets made it no longer a search engine.
