Which is weird because a site's designers _know_ which parts of the content are relevant.

- Domenic_S 11y agoI don't think it's weird at all. Google has some of the brightest search minds and years of experience; an site's team is lucky to have someone on staff who even knows what porter-stemming is.
- dogweather 11y agoOk, true. I've personally found that I can kick Google's butt simply because Google cannot trust the site's creator. This puts them at a big disadvantage right out of the gate.
- flashman 11y agoIt's not that weird. I know what content is on my site, but fuzzy matching the vast variety of input strings is non-trivial to do well. (Emphasis on 'to do well' because there are a lot of ways to get it working but poorly.)
