Google seems to also place less emphasis on search phrases. When searching for exact article names I easily find them on DuckDuckGo, but not on Google. Two recent search-term examples:
1. the scientific worldview needs an update
2. from reproducibility to over reproducibility
- account42 5y agoIn general, google no longer primarily searches what you asked them but for what they think you want. This might be better for the average user but can be extremely frustrating when you are trying to find something more niche.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoYeah these algorithms are so stupid. They always assume you want more of what you've seen before. For me it's usually the complete opposite.
- BitwiseFool 5y agoI think it is also the result of the whole "Ok, google" voice assistant push. It seems like Google switched to natural language processing and the old-school system of keyword searching is no longer effective.
- yetanotheralexn 5y agoYour examples seem to work for me (the second one only if combined with double quotes). Do you have more? https://snipboard.io/PYhNHW.jpg https://snipboard.io/PYhNHW.jpg https://snipboard.io/HvRaiE.jpg https://snipboard.io/HvRaiE.jpg It would be cool to find datapoints for a proper bug report for Google :)
- kkoncevicius 5y agoWell, there is always stuff Google thinks you shouldn't read about. Try these (both are first hit on ddg.gg and nowhere on google): - Politics Influences the Science of COVID-19 - Ten elements of false covid narrative - Josh Mitteldorf unthinkable thoughts
