Triggering Circle to Search is now more annoying after a recent Google app update

Circle to Search is a helpful service that receives its updates through the Google app, which was recently updated to version 16.4.36 on Pixel devices, bringing a tweak to the vibration strength and length when triggering Circle to Search, which is starting to drive a few Android users up a wall (via Android Authority). You see, the vibration that triggers Circle to Search has been adjusted to something longer and stronger, not only diminishing the muscle memory users built up to recognize when the feature was triggered but also more aggressively vibrating your phone on every accidental press, which can be annoying.
