Often I want exactly the opposite of "relevant" results - I want results related to what I searched for, not to where I'm located nor to what's currently happening.
Someone on HN complained they couldn't Google their acquaintance around the time of the Olympics, because one of the participants had a name which was different but similar, and Google just couldn't grok you'd want to look for someone else than an Olympian...
- thrashh 4y agoThe vast majority of my searches are either relevant events or non-contextual to begin with and I rather have the rare case where your example happens to be when I have to add extra search terms, instead than the other way around. I honestly see HN and Reddit complain about Google results a lot and I wonder if y’all the minority use case tbh.
- tasuki 4y agoI could have like two buttons for the two use cases, or a checkbox. For sure a minority, hence why Google doing what they're doing...
