People keep going on about how Google search is terrible now. But in fact I make typos sometimes in my web searches, and when I do, DDG mocks me harshly with “no results”. Google finds the page I was searching for.
I’m just saying, this “guess what the user wanted” stuff is not just for Kids These Days.
