This is an example from yesterday:
"azure" devops agent "checkout" "freeze"
I'm obviously searching for something very specific here, and Google helpfully decided to show me results omitting "freeze" and "checkout" so I had to quote them.
I also notice that it looks like Google thinks that check-up is the same thing as checkout, which in context are not synonyms, though this would require Google to infer "git checkout" but I didn't include git because that would introduce another universe of unhelpful results.
https://dzone.com/articles/getting-started-with-jenkins-the-ultimate-guide https://dzone.com/articles/getting-started-with-jenkins-the-... was included which doesn't include "azure" at all, though this is obviously Google being cheeky.
Of course I could also call this somewhat sinister, as Google is basically saying I should ditch a direct competitor to their services and instead use a self-hosted service. Or maybe I'm projecting since I would like to ditch Azure DevOps and use Jenkins, but in any case there's an example.
Feel free to play with it: https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS820US820&biw=1396&bih=686&ei=JbGTXIfPMsv9-gTdlbroCQ&q=%22azure%22+devops+agent+%22checkout%22+%22freeze%22&oq=%22azure%22+devops+agent+%22checkout%22+%22freeze%22&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0i71l8.0.0..79010...0.0..0.0.0.......0......gws-wiz.JV1CR-xncd4 https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS820US820&biw=1...
Of course, in this case it was a networking problem so I do have to admit that usually when Google starts ignoring what I typed it's because the answer to the question is something else entirely. Though sometimes I know exactly what I'm asking for and Google doesn't get it.
- JoeSmithson 8y agoWow THANK YOU! I have been asking for an example of this for literally years. I think possibly what is happening here is that the index believes "azure" is on the page. Consider the second result here: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22azure%22+%22Allows+adding+Secure+Shell%22+site%3Adzone.com&rlz=1C1CHBF_enGB814GB814&oq=%22azure%22+%22Allows+adding+Secure+Shell%22+site%3Adzone.com&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60.497j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 https://www.google.com/search?q=%22azure%22+%22Allows+adding... (the one that starts java.dzone.com but leads to the same article). It appears to have captured at index time a phrase "Microservices and Serverless on Azure" that is no longer in the artcile (possibly a link to another article). Perhaps a Googler can explain exactly what is happening.
