My wife does this. It drives me crazy; I'm thinking "That's not how you search! You should just type 'changing oil'." But she gets the results she's looking for anyway so she doesn't listen.
- richardwhiuk 10y agoWhy 'should' you?
- zeven7 10y agoI was more poking fun at myself for thinking you "should" when the other way actually works fine.
- enraged_camel 10y agoYou're actually more likely to get instruction-type results if you ask "natural" questions. You can test this by searching for "changing oil" and then "how do i change my oil" and comparing the results.

But she gets the results she's looking for anyway so she doesn't listen. And why should she? Is she happy with the results? Google has done it's job. The keywords aren't there for you, they're there for Google so they can make searching work even if you lard up your search with unnecessary words.
