Reasonable justification != Reasonable
My point is, searching for just mattress should reasonably and logically include a small sampling of 'all' related topics. As by your own words, specific implications behind the search should be left to additional keywords. Assuming the search is for the purposes of buying, without specifying that, is certainly more profitable to google than a small sampling of all related topics, but not what most users want when simply searching for a vague general thing or concept.
- johnday 6y agoSuppose that we know, axiomatically, that 99% of people who search "mattresses" want to buy a mattress. Search engine A, when someone queries "mattress", shows a page of options to buy a mattress. Search engine B, when someone queries "mattress", shows a light touch on a number of different aspects of mattresses, including a history, the wikipedia page, and so on. Which one is doing a better job of showing relevant results to the user? I would suggest A.
