- liveoneggs 7y agogoogle silently replacing "interesting" with "cool" brings up advice on cooling things (temperature) instead of keeping things "interesting" as in "interesting"
- moultano 7y agoDo you remember the full query?
- liveoneggs 7y agohow to keep an aquarium interesting how to keep a cat interesting looks like that pattern generally
- moultano 7y agoAwesome examples! Thank you!
- mattkrause 7y agoWow..that does fail spectacularly! The first few pages for me are all temperature-related.
- DevoidSimo 7y agoDuck Duck Go seems to handle that much better, although the first result is still about cooling. I assume it's synonym replacement
- uoaei 7y agoYikes, that sounds like a software architecture problem. The "infer which words are more likely to get good results" layer and the "search for things using words" layer are blind to each other's behaviors. How do Google's engineering teams get away with this obvious error? For how much they're paid, you'd expect them to be better about things that passive observers readily notice. Don't they use their own product, anyway?
- tempguy9999 7y agoI can't at the moment, but as a hint, if I search for X Y Z then I expect the first results to contain all those terms, not 2 out of 3. Like others complain, it seems necessary to quote each on "X" "Y" "Z" to get what I want. If you have to have a clever read-my-mind search, then instead of blending it into the main search, have 2 search types of 'intelligent' and 'precise'.
- claar 7y agoGoogle already offers a "Verbatim" search type just as you describe -- it's the same as quoting all words automatically. In Chrome, you can set your search engine to "https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&num=100&tbs=li:1" https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&num=100&tbs=li:1" to get this behavior by default.
- colechristensen 7y agoHere's one: when are bonuses usually paid I had great trouble finding results which were not advice for business owners.
- moultano 7y agoThanks! Did you finally find a good page?
- colechristensen 7y agoI never really found the kind of thing I was looking for. If you're looking for more search feedback, my email is in my profile.
- TremendousJudge 7y ago>I had great trouble finding results which were not advice for business owners. This, so much. There are so many search queries nowadays that have been SEO'd to hell, and there are just pages upon pages of crappy 4 paragraph articles on B2B company blogs just parroting the same information over and over again.
