This is rather dependent on what the 'it' in question is; and it's a usage convention of the term 'to download'.
The conventional usage of 'to download' is 'to download a file', where that file could be a video, an audio recording, a pdf document containing a recipe, or any number of other things (essentially simply 'a file containing data'), but the key aspect is that it's a file which you could think of as equivalent to a physical object.
When you click on a link on a web page, a search result in your example, and see a recipe, then you have literally downloaded the text, and any images, for that recipe since you've caused data to move from a server somewhere to your local device in order to view it. That is very much not the typical usage of the term 'to download', however. If you were then to use 'save' or 'print' in your browser to store a local copy of the recipe, you would then have downloaded it in the conventional usage of the term.
You could most usefully think of 'to download' as 'to store a local copy'.
It's entirely possible that clicking on some links will download something, meaning storing it locally, however; it just doesn't apply to the sort of search result scenario you cited.
