Oooh excellent. I guess the thing is, I’ve never gone to google.com in probably 5 years. All my searches are through the firefox search bar.
I’ve been complaining about Software that thinks it’s smarter than its User since before many Dopers were born, but Google has taken that art to new depths. Wrong language has been a problem for me when I use Internet cafes, but it’s the least of my Google complaints now.
I like to focus my searches by using rarish words, but these days, more often than not, Google “enhances” my searching experience by substituting “better, friendlier” search terms. There might be a place to click “Did you want us to search for what you told us to search for?” near the top, but sometimes it’s near the bottom and, sometimes it accepts my terms but presents hits on unrelated words of similar spelling anyway.
And sometimes, though I’ve never “watched in slow motion” to see how it happens, friendly Google puts the alternate word or faulty continuation up into the search box so I don’t even get the option of searching for what I wanted.
Oh, I’m sure there’s a Youtube for “Learn all about Advanced Google options”:
“+Fuck Google” means “I didn’t type this term by accident.”
“++Fuck Google” means “I didn’t type this term by accident and I’d like to see the results.”
“+++Fuck Google” means “I’d really like to Fuck Google. Do I have to kiss your ass first?”
I love how well the words match. Most people just try for the Stalin reference towards the end, but you got nearly every ending word to sound like what it was.
Oh, and you do know why it hasn’t been taken down, right?
Yeah, I was particularly proud when Hitler subtitles “That’s an epic fail!” and it sounds like he screams “That’s an epic fail!”
As to the second question… 'cause it’s better than the rest?
