        Return Google Shorts — short-form vertical videos surfaced in search.

        Triggers Google's Shorts mode via `udm=39` and parses out the
        `short_videos_results` carousel. Mostly returns YouTube Shorts but also
        includes TikToks, Facebook Reels, and other short-form sources when
        Google surfaces them.
