I mean, I personally don't like BitcoinCash and I definitely don't hold a single satoshi of it; but in a business perspective, this is just blockchain.com simply catering to a wider audience whether we like it or not. The BCH community is definitely a lot smaller compared to the BTC community, but their number is still significant; hence blockchain.com is trying to capture their demographic. So instead of the BCH community using https://explorer.bitcoin.com/bch, they can now use blockchain.info as well.

+1

They're a business which is trying to saturate both sides of the market, as they really don't care what coin you support. They're simply just trying to grow, and then collect fees from people from buying btc and other alts through their platform.

I hate when people think that businesses want to cater to their random set of views.

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

BTW, it would be a cool feature of a search engine to start to offer. Google, duckduckgo or bing could easily do this.

Seems, they heard it out base on these articles.

How amusing that 5 BTC and 5 BCH is equals to $10 Cheesy

They could easily put a dropdown menu instead of "go" where you would be able to change the coin that you wanna search. Or maybe something else before clicking on the "go". And on the main page, Bitcoin BTC is select, people could select Bitcoin Cash if they want to search for BCH. The same for ethereum.

Much better if when some user hit the search button with the address as the default explorer, btc transaction/info will be shown and there's only a button for BCH info with the details.

In this case, it's merely a UI/UX problem. Not about blockchain.com adding an explorer feature to a coin that most people aren't interested in.

There is no such thing as 2 address on Bitcoin. So, why do they found 2 results?

This is not a great user experience and will just confusing newbies.
