@rodhilton I wonder why I get a different result?

Maybe Google "fixed" it? Or maybe I'm not opted into AI search results?

Is this a thing Google is trialing?

Google search for "country in Africa that starts with k". First result: "Kenya is located on the eastern coast of Africa and borders Somalia to the northeast, Tanzania to the north, Uganda to the west, South Sudan to the northwest, Ethiopia to the southwest, and Somalia again on the southern border."

@tamitha @rodhilton your search terms are slightly different— try “country in africa that starts with the letter k” Seems the AI page won out on the results summary because the term perfectly overlaps the question

@ergo @rodhilton Ah!! Good catch, thank you. I didn't realize I'd left that off.

If I do use the exact phrase, "country in africa that starts with the letter k", the results match.
