Its a very different process. Having work on search engines before, I can tell you that the word generate means something different in this context. It means, in simple terms, to match your search query with a bunch of results, gather links to said results, and then send them to the user to be displayed

I dont want to speak for OP but I think they meant its not generating the search results using an LLM

Honestly the fact that Lemmy doesn’t have infinite scroll (on my UI, at least) has helped me a lot in terms of not wasting hours at a time on my phone
