One area where Google search is terribly broken is porn.
If your search for some specific term "$foo", nearly every result is just 'search site $bar for "$foo"', taking you to the site's search page, regardless of whether $foo is actually found on the site.

- rjrdi38dbbdb 2y agoAre locals particularly attached to that name? Seems like a referendum for a name change would be a good idea, considering the current typical usage of that term.

- buryat 2y agohow many people do you think search for $foo and the opposite?
- rjrdi38dbbdb 2y agoWhat do you mean by the opposite? The search behavior is the same whether $foo is a popular generic term or something niche.
- kmoser 2y agoWhat does that have to do with porn?
- rjrdi38dbbdb 2y agoI've never noticed that behavior from Google when searching for any other topic. Have you?
- Suppafly 2y agoI swear the only reason people started using bing is because the search there actually worked well for porn.
