Good article. It's really obnoxious that so many websites now offer you probablistic results when you're actually searching for some well defined thing you asked for in precise terms. Getting some ML suggestion should be an optional fallback if I can't articulate what I want, not a first choice.
Youtube isn't mentioned in the piece but it's also one of the worst offenders of this. They shove so much "do you want to see this again?" or "for you" in the middle of your results it's crazy. Luckily using a search operator like ` after:[date]` still gets rid of it. I've noticed having to use operators on more and more sites to basically force them to not hand me random content back.
