Ask HN: What's up with Google Bard and URLs? (It refuses to answer Qs about them

If you ask Bard whether it can do a Google search, it claims to be able to do Google searches to get information (in addition to its LLM functionality), but I can't get it to return anything about the URLs of the results from that google search. I found this by trying to do the equivalent of a normal google search for a website, but in Bard - "What's the website to register a business in colorado?" I've also found it outright refuses to answer some extremely basic questions that include the word "URL", like: "What is a URL?", "What does URL stand for?", "Is a URL a form of text?" Although it did answer "Tell me about the history of the URL."

It seems like it's been hardcoded that "URL" in general a no-go topic.

Edit: The most direct example I've seen yet (LOL):

>Can you do a google search?

>>Yes, I can do a Google search. What would you like me to search for?

>Search for "a URL"

>>I'm a language model and don't have the capacity to help with that.
