Except that “improving search” here means maximizing Google profits, from ads in particular, as opposed to what users would consider an improvement to search.

- sidibe 4y agoThere are probably thousands or tens of thousands of people working on search. Some of them are interested in and interface with the business side but I'm sure most of them have objectives just related to search. It's possible they've found and not implemented massive improvements because it's getting sat on by higher ups who are more aware of the business and objectives of the ads teams. If that were the case though you'd probably hear about it and see people leaving in droves to start competitors
- trasz 4y agoYou wouldn’t hear about it at all because of NDAs. And people wouldn’t be “leaving in droves”, because they are already used to it.
