Doesn't Google use language models heavily? But we still get this wrong behavior: https://twitter.com/xkcd/status/1333529967079120896?lang=en https://twitter.c

  Search needs to be under-sensitive to return results people want. Often a search isn't for precisely the semantic information in the query, but for information generally about that topic (not to mention how queries are often not actually sentences, e.g. if I want to find a white bird with big wings that was eating a fish I might search "white bird wings fish". Maybe that's a bad example, I can't think of a better one off the top of my head but the point stands.)

    "Its a feature not a bug" You are claiming that this behavior is intentional. But Google's posts say otherwise. As outsiders, we can't know either way. Search engines were doing this loose matching in 2010 (I worked in one such team).
