Google's new music-oriented search results present a package similar to its movie-specific results, but with crucial
differences. In each case, (try gorillaz for music and king kong for movies), Google is likely to
recognize the nature of the query and offer a "More" link to flesh out the musical or filmish quality of the its
results. But in some cases (try kanye west for music), Google imposes proprietary results to the page,
completely eliminating Web-search results. The user must click the Web tab to get normal, organic search results for
Kanye West. This seems a bit odd and pushy. Google's full-bore movie results are invoked with the movie:
search operator applied to a title or actor. You can do the sasme thing with a music: operator.

(Page 1)2. When I google "king kong" it comes up with showtimes, from local theatres. Nothing special for "gorillaz", "kanye west", "coldplay", and other artists.
Is it because I'm logged in for Personalized, and it knows where I am, that I'm getting the theatre results?
