- lovecg 5y agoI mean “wiki <search>“ works on Google too. But I don’t want to type anything extra. My problem here is if we assume the search engine should be good at predicting what I actually want to see for a given term, Google is failing at that.
- glenneroo 5y agoSounds like you need a BCI like this: https://shop.openbci.com/collections/frontpage https://shop.openbci.com/collections/frontpage (semi-joking... but complaining about typing 3-5 letters is definitely a 1st world problem ;)
- lovecg 5y agoIt absolutely is :) But so is complaining about Pinterest ruining photo search!
- glenneroo 5y agoFair enough! Then again the top-voted comment IMO invalidates the entire article's premise i.e. Bing image search works fine: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29151512 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29151512 That is to say that Google image search is the real problem and not Pinterest.
