> But a directory topic "instant noodles" would find sites about instant noodles. And sure enough, if you hunt through search results, you can find things like https://www.theramenrater.com/ https://www.theramenrater.com/ which definitely fits the bill, but it takes some hunting. It's a "page four" type of result (in reality, it was on page five).
Your example of Ramen Rater is the #1 result for the query [instant noodle reviews]. The more broad [instant noodles] has Wikipedia as the #1 result, which covers the "about" intent case you mentioned.
- elefantastisch 5y agoI think there's still a distinction here. I didn't specifically want instant noodle reviews. I just wanted sites about instant noodles. If they happen to be reviews, cool. If they are photo galleries, that's cool too. Message boards, also cool. But I don't want articles or encyclopedia or dictionary entries about instant noodles. I want full sites, or at least large subsections of sites, where the primary topic is instant noodles. This is what directories list. Sites where you open the site and ask "what's this site about" and the answer is clearly "instant noodles". Not at the page level, but at the site level.
