Most search engines will parse the query sentence much more intelligently than that. It's not literally matching every word and hasn't for decades. I just tried a handful of popular search engines, they all return the appropriate responses and links.
- dale_glass 1y agoThey're not that literal anymore of course, but they still don't compare to an LLM. In the end it's still mostly searching for key words even if with a few tweaks here and there, and the ability to answer vague questions mostly works by finding forums and Reddit posts where people ask that specific question and hopefully get an answer. When you're asking a standard question like the capital of whatever, that works great. When you have one of those weird issues, it often lands you in a thread somewhere in the Ubuntu forums where people tried to help this person, nothing worked, and the thread died 3 years ago. Just the fact that LLMs can translate between languages already adds an amazing amount of usefulness that search engines can't have. There seems to be a fair amount of obscure technical info that's only available in Russian for some reason.
- agentultra 1y ago> they still don't compare to an LLM Of course they don't. One is a program for seaching a corpus of data for items relevant to a query. The other generates items from a corpus of data.
