Google does this to some extent. Recently I've found that Google uses my past queries to make cogent suggestions for my next search (essentially to predict what I want next based on prior info). Eg, if I've just searched for "sully", then a short time after type "t" into Google, the first suggestion is Tom Hanks. I've only noticed this in the last few months.
- Swizec 9y agoI’ve experienced this when learning new programming languages and other domains. When you start, Google results are mostly garbage with a few useful bits. A few months later, it feels like the web is awash in materials to answer your every question and you can always find an answer for your problem in the first 5 results. Part of it is learning which phrases to use when searching, but I’m sure a big part of it is also Google figuring out what you want.
