I hate how it's translating words or when you highlight something on mobile and select search web, it prefixes "define" or replaces the word entirely with a more generalized term. Just this week, I searched for Clătite. The first result is a giant full page (on mobile) information box about Crêpes. Which, yes, the same, but also not the same. If I wanted to read about crêpes, I would have searched for crêpes. When I'm searching for Clătite, it's because I'm interested in the specifics of what is different. Giving information about the French variety is missing the point entirely. If you're on Android, try it yourself. Highlight the word Clătite and see what it puts in the search box when you click "web search".
