Well if there is a Black Widow in my oil vapor separator, at least I know how to deal with that...

Sometimes search engines are hilarious. I recently checked if there was a group on Facebook for "young Atlanta queers" and the first result was Young Republicans of Atlanta. I'm pretty sure the overlap here is very small.

google has been trying to make it’s search find the things you mean and not necessarily what you say. one way is including searches for synonyms of keywords, which can really screw things up.

Haha my friend with the Cabriolet has issues searching for stuff specific to his car because Google auto-translates “cabriolet” to “convertible , ” which heavily waters down the results.

For making them look bad, I fully expect Google to replace your pillow with a nest of black widows. Better give that pillow case a good shake before you go to bed.

It’s probably a good strategy in general, but it really does suck when you are searching for specific technical things. Quoting helps, but I still feel like it’s trying to “help” me sometimes.
