Well modern designers deliver mockup filled with Lorem Ipsum so no one notices that the text is hard to read.

That is a good explanation. The behavior is reasonable if we all type one character at a time, wait for the list of suggestions to update and stabilize, and review the list before typing the next character. Unfortunately, some of us are imp

Remove the ability to search for keywords, but add a Tictok like interface. The AI will then learn our preference and surface pages we want to see.

I never clued in to the fact that the little bar below the calculator screen meant that you could pull it down to show history either.

That would be a great idea! That's the perfect use for the "spreadsheet implemented in Browser" submissions we have seen over the years!

I am not in accounting/finance, but the world has been on SaaS for so long that it's hard to imagine that the department responsible for controlling spending hasn't caught on and plugged this loophole.

It looks like they reconfigured the intersection into a roundabout, which eliminated the weird geometry of the previous design and reduced the options available to drivers to just entering and exiting roundabout.

There is a good chance that someone could get to the 400th page if there were around a total of 8000-10000 hits for an for a obscure topic. It would be a multi-day effort, and I am sure that person would wish that they could search within

Yes, and if 99.999% of the people will never go beyond result 400, then logically, it wouldn't be tough for Google to offer the 0.001% the ability to go beyond result 400. I am sure those determined users wouldn't mind waiting a f

Yeah I agree it is an explanation. My 'nobody wanted to touch it in the last 2 decades' hypothesis isn't justification for keeping around either. Interestingly, I just did a search for "Google" and when I got to the

The number of pages in a search index and the number of results found were major selling points for search engines. I'd say that the count got carried forward in the last 20 years.

We wouldn't tolerate a business advertising "up to 90% off" if there doesn't exist at least one item that is 90% off. Businesses can't point to an item that is 30% off and claim that 30% off is a subset of 90% off.

It made sense back then when you could tell Google the exact words that you are looking for. But now that Google drops random words from our query, it's not exactly easy to refine the search query.
