People use mobiles to search for small local things, restaurants, gas stations, flower sellers, that sort of thing. Proper e-commerce products and services are searched for on laptops and desktops because we want to compare offers, read reviews and check on websites in depth to find out the advantages and disadvantages of what we are going to buy.

Maybe Google will vanish in 5 years but it will be falling prices for clicks, their own skills at severely hacking off the people they do business with, government action to curb their abuses or maybe buying too many companies that they cannot run successfully that does for them.
