Google worm that never dies

10 points by dusted 4y ago

This breaks google for me and fill the results with some religious text.. But I'm looking for the name of species of worm.. that never dies. Is it too much to ask for a single non-fiction result? A better query was "immortal worm" apparantly.. As it did allow me to find the name I was looking for ( Planarian flatworm )

Perhaps the string "species of worm that never dies" although you still get mixed results. ...since "worm that never dies" has matches for Mark 9:48 and related discussions.

Lol. If you happen to search an exact Bible quote, and a famous one at that, how is an AI not to think that you want not want to see 3 (!) youtube clips about it. My own bugbear with Google's AI, are when Google thinks it knows the answer to your query and prominently displays it at the top. Knowledge graph it's called I think. Thing is, sometimes they wrong, like 180 degrees opposite wrong. So you want to report that, but I don't know how you can do that.

  Got one like that recently, where it swapped meters for kilometers. The response proudly declared by google was comically wrong.

@dang Could you kindly fix the title?

Question marks help on this. For example, sometimes using keywords is good,, but sometimes you have to be like "What is the species of worm that never dies?"

I was really expecting to get a (quite literal) Easter egg here. I guess it's just not relevant results?

You might be able to remove some of the junk results with the minus sign before the keyword in your search query. Used to work back in the day. Something like species of worm that never dies -bible -mark -jesus -christianity

With language like that it's not entirely surprising. For scientific searches you'll want to use scientific language like "species" or "genus" or "experiment" or "lab".
