But done the right way. With autocompletion based on your frequent searches, recent searches, machine learning based suggestions using what the whole internet searches, etc.

It's qualitatively different from your average CLI experience. As such, I don't think you can actually compare the two.

It is a command-based line-input UI. Just because it is different in other ways doesn't mean it a comparison is unwarranted.

My argument was that the "other ways" it is different in are more important than the similarities.
