I didn't like the search results. It tries to guess on what you want, and as a techie i guess i'm more used to specifying myself what i want to search.

- bitwize 17y agoWould you like them better if the Google logo were floating at the top of the page?
- Raphael_Amiard 17y agoI was refering to actual search results, for the same search, with comparison from both search engines. I might be totally wrong, and the issue is in a good part subjective. That's why i did put the words "I didn't like", and not "The results are plain bad". Implying i was just influenced by the brand, while it may have seemed clever to you, is rude , gross ,and totally unrelated to what i said.
- lucumo 17y ago> It tries to guess on what you want Unfortunately, Google is far worse in that respect. I've had occassions where my search query was automatically "corrected" to search for the exact opposite of what I want. Not too worrisome, if it weren't for the annoying fact that the only way to notice that was by finding (!) a note in normal font at the bottom of the page. That happened a bit too often. I'm now a Yahoo Search user.
- timcederman 17y agoI get quite a few people coming to my blog about this issue, and emailing me because Google is so hopeless for this one particular query: http://www.cederman.com/?p=133 http://www.cederman.com/?p=133
