Two questions. Why wouldn't they, and how could they tell?

I might have gotten this wrong, but it seems emacs open a browser window with the given query, then it's ok

I was thinking it would do a curl/wget on the url then show the results on emacs

I don't understand the practical difference between your two examlpes. What does a browser do, other than essentially "run curl on the URL and then show the results"

Technically of course, there's no difference, however: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66357?hl=en
