When searching for: wealthiest community in America
the first result is:

Dennis, can you take a look?

I've tried bisecting this with mozregression but the target keeps moving and I'm narrowing it down to bugs that don't make any sense (bug 1244227 and bug 1281547).

Reproduces in Safari, Opera and Edge for me as well.

I've poked around a bit since I initially thought this was related to some A/B testing I've seen Google doing recently. However, I never saw the AMP logo below the header, so I fired a search to see what's up with that. I found [0], and apparently this was a bug and Google either is aware of it and already fixed it - at least I cannot reproduce.

Jared, can you still reproduce?

I don't see AMP search results for that query anymore so I think Google pulled it and is investigating. Closing per the link in comment #4.
