They could show the natural ones for the result of that search in India. (Perhaps that particular search results in no ads anyway? Who knows.)

#4Do you see any ads if you search for oldest sweet shop near mochi gate lahore? I don't.
I also don't get any if I search for nipplegate, for example.
You see, those ads depend on the used search terms. If no one bids on those words, you won't see any ads.

#5I dont think Google is lying in this particular case. There are no ads what so ever for that search when I tried it out.

If we really want to get on the conspiracy train. Perhaps Goggle turned off ads for that specific search phrase.

I don't see any adds for that search result, though the results are now tainted by news articles about that ad and that particular search.
Just to derail the conspiracy train, when I try other searches of the same type, such as "oldest bar in philadephia", I get no ads as well. I would not expect ads for a search that unique.

Sadly the Wikipedia entry is now pushed down to page two for me. I have a bunch of HATEFUL USELESS NEWS ARTICLES filling my first page.
I know how to search for news. I include [news] in the search terms, or I clicky the news button.
I wish there was an easy way to set Google searches to search for things older than one month by default.

I'm gently surprised that no-one has bid for them yet.

#10Here's how Google displays "pizza" to me: http://imgur.com/9nUfmEi
* Ads are clearly marked. * Google, please don't take away the near-me recommendations. * Google, please don't take away the map. * Google, the wikipedia-like excerpt is helpful; please don't stop doing that. If I wanted to wikipedia the article, I would have asked wikipedia (or "!w pizza" with my browser shortcut).
