I get 0 ads on that search. The very first result, above anything but their header, is https://support.google.com/websearch/troubleshooter/3111061 .

Since there are conflicting reports, allow me a stupid question: you're not running adblock?

2 ads and a card linking directly to the Google support article explaining how to remove it here.

I get 4 ads too. Thankfully my screen is a little taller (1920x1200 on Windows Chrome with no scaling).

A weird example of Google creating business for third parties.
