Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:

MODERATORS
It's also because they search for something different than your query in order to combat seo in certain cases, and to help people who don't know how to use Google: https://moz.com/blog/google-modifying-searches
But it seems like this behavior tends to break down when the user knows what they're doing and Google does something different because it thinks it knows better search terms...
This article illustrates that google understands the intent of a search well enough to consistently show relevant results to the end user. For as long as I've used google, I think I've "fought" the engine to find a specific result like three times ever. Just today, I used it to figure out what I mistyped on my keyboard when taking notes by putting it into google and letting it autocorrect. This article does not demonstrate a problem with google that has degraded the quality of search results. It shows the opposite, actually.
