Any examples? I find it hard to believe it is "nearly useless for most searched topics". It is easy to check, go to your search history and look at your last 10-20 queries and count how many them useless.
- reaperducer 8y agoToday I searched for TPUG, which is the Toronto PET Users Group. Google returned exactly ZERO results about TPUG. All of the results were about dogs.
- itp 8y agoI just searched for TPUG on Google in both my logged in profile, as well as an incognito window. Both searches returned primarily results about the Toronto PET Users Group, including a knowledge panel specifically about the Toronto PET Users Group (founded in 1978 by Lyman Duggan). That's either very quick turnaround to fix, or a deeper mystery!
- reaperducer 8y agoNo mystery at all. Google tailors the results to what it thinks you want, rather than what you asked for. Two people sitting at machines next to each other can perform the same search and get different results. It's what Google's spent billions of dollars on.
- mda 8y agoI expect it to change results, it would be a terrible experience if it did not
- mda 8y agoThe very first answer is Toronto Pet users for me, even with special box and the works.
