I feel that we have such a high standard for google search result quality that we can get frustrated by such highly specific search result edge cases. Google search is not perfect, but its the best search engine out there by a long margin for almost 20 years.
There will be a subset of users who will bemoan user privacy but expect highly specific personally tailored quality search result. You can't have both and there will always be edge cases in such a difficult domain. The fact that so many industry heavyweights can't compete with Google in search result quality, says a lot about how good Google is. Does it has problems? Yes, no one is denying it.
- reaperducer 8y agowe can get frustrated by such highly specific search result edge cases Every case is an edge case. "Edge case" has become the tech industry's excuse for everything.
- what_ever 8y agoEvery case is not an edge case. You can't be serious if you call of the following queries as edge cases - 1. Chicago 2. Chicago movie 3. Chicago movie review 4. Movies in Chicago 5. Movie reviewers 6. Movie reviewers in Chicago 7. List of movie reviewers in Chicago. If you still feel so, you may be talking about edge case in non-technical sense. Disc: Googler but nowhere close to search or duplex.
- reaperducer 8y ago1. Chicago But with Google, there is no pure search for "Chicago." There is only a search for "Chicago" by someone at a particular location with a particular device using a particular browser with a particular search history with a particular number of other parameters that Google's pieced together that we don't even know about. So, I'll be more specific: Every Google search is an edge case. Google spends billions making sure no two searches return identical results.
