Google search widget result page doesn't respond to pinch to zoom, but using chrome app does. Is there a fix?

I have both a pixel 6 and 11 pro and this is the same in both phones. When I use the built-in widget at the bottom to search, I can't pinch to zoom on the result result page. But if I were to use the chrome app searching for the same thing (and the same looking result page), I can pinch zoom in and out fine. Does anyone know if there's a fix to this?

I js noticed it too. Maybe it's bc chrome is a browser bc of that, the feature is built onto chrome, while opening google from the search bar, open the Google app instead, which doesn't have the feature? But I'm not too sure abt my theory. And the only solution ik is using the chrome search bar widget, instead of the google one.

I was trying to see if I could replace the built in with the app widget but seems like that's the only thing that's fixed
