Remember that Goole is not a public service. It is a business.

It has two (or more) customers with different needs. For now, google needs to satisfy us (the users), but not delight.

I'll be honest....

I'm puzzled why OP did a web-search (i.e. used a business to find) 'midjourny' rather than simply entering the known URL.

How times change.

Do you bother to remember known URL's?

Is it midjourney.ai or midjourney.com?

Is my health plan oscar.com or oscarhealth.com?

Repeat ad infinitum.

I have better things to spend my brain power on remembering. Fortunately, my browser will autocomplete the URLs for sites I frequently use, but a lot of sites I want to visit for the first time.

Throw in the fact that known bad actors will purchase common typos of domains like this and potentially setup websites to fish for credentials or push malware and it's something best avoided.
