Search engines "modify" it ie. show snippets + direct to the actual site.
In general fair use pretty much always requires it to be transformative and/or point to the source. Simply scraping it to prevent people from going to X isn't free use in any definition I've heard.
Remember ~10 years ago when Google had "cached" versions of the websites? I believe they removed that feature for this reason.
