It makes sense to change rank of the search mode options depending on your query. Some examples...

[supreme court] -> "News"

[make face mask at home] -> "Videos"

[ps4] -> "Shopping"

[cute cat] -> "Images"

Google and Bing have the exact same behavior for these queries.

Personally I prefer how DDG keeps "All, Images, Videos, News, Maps" static and then shows additional tabs when relevant, e.g. "Shopping" or "Meanings".

Jumbling up the tabs on each search was one of the UI-related reasons that I gave up on GSearch years ago (outside of the occasional !g, which now usually feels like being redirected to AliExpress).
