In theory, there are two types of corrections, one is blatant, the other is subtle:
- You blatantly correct the conversation by adding additional text to the search: "norway government" versus "norway travel".
- You subtly correct the conversation over time with more government queries/clicks/likes or more travel queries/clicks/likes.
Listening to Matt Cutt's response, it sounds like all of these signals are pretty minor anyway.
- dhimes 15y agoNot sure where you are going with your dichotomy- if you are unable to correct in either case (because you don't get the option of clicking on a correct answer) then it fails. I suppose with enough perseverance you could trick the search engine into showing you what you want- if you know it exists in the first place- but then, (1) just enter the very specific term to start with, and (2) this defeats the attempts to become more relevant. I agree with you that these seem to be small changes. So far.
