Avengers Endgame effect: Google makes half of its search results vanish and Thanos is responsible

Search giant Google is now cashing in on the on-going hype around Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Avengers: Endgame with this fun little trick: All you need to do is search for one of the main characters of the film ‘Thanos’ and click on the Infinity Gauntlet. Once you do that, you actually activate the Infinity Gauntlet and half the search results on the web page start to disintegrate, in exactly the same way as half of all life across the universe disintegrated when Thanos activated the Infinity Gauntlet in last year’s ‘Avengers: Infinity War.’

Interestingly enough, Wikipedia entry also disappears from the search results. You can easily get back the results by once again clicking the Infinity Gauntlet. When you click the Infinity Gauntlet one more time, it glows for a brief moment and all previously vanished search results reappear before your eyes.

How to make search results vanish using this trick

Step 1: Go to www.google.com and search for the term ‘Thanos’

Step 2: In the search console, click on the ‘Infinity Gauntlet.’
The animation will Snap the Infinity Gauntlet and results will disappear in no time. Meanwhile, the webpage scrolls up and down on its own which makes the whole thing even more interesting. However, it stops when half of the search results are disintegrated off the search results page.

Step 3: Click on the Infinity Gauntlet one more time in order to make search results reappear.
