I don't want that. I don't mind having to work a bit harder to get results, so long as those results are excellent. So, for your example, I want to have to type an extra word (either programming or snakes or herpatology or whatever) to provide the context that Google would otherwise get from wherever.
I'm all anti-Google, but this makes no sense to me.
You want to type an extra word?
"I don't want to be tracked and sold to advertisers", or "I don't want to be second-guessed" makes much more sense.
- DanBC 15y agoThis is a subset of "I don't want to be second guessed". I'd happily give up Google's guess of what I want, and I realise that sometimes I'm going to need to type an extra word. I type slowly, about 60 words a minute. That extra word is an extra second of typing, but it makes the results a lot more useful to me. There's other advantages. (Maybe these aren't as obvious or real to other people.) Thinking about the words I use forces me to think about the problem, and forces me to think around what I'm doing and why.
