That is wrong. Not sure where you got that idea from.

  Search 'hr platform' and you only get ads for HR platforms. At no point will you see totally unrelated ads for stuff you didn't search for, since those will do much worse than contextual ones in the search context.

    Yeah but if you search for something generic, Google will infer what you are searching for based on your profile.

      But the context/question is whether or not the adverts are different, not whether the search results are different.

        As a counter point, google used to (still does?) recruit based off of your search history. the famous “now you’re speaking our language” popups

        The adverts will also be different since Google would infer what to show you - both in the results and advertisements.
