been this way for a while

i think you have to add a + before the quote now, which conflicts with the minus, so...

it used to be where you could put a multiple-word phrase in quotes, and then use a minus to not search for that phrase at all. now it looks like they're ignoring that or they're giving the space delimiter more priority than a string in quotes

google product documentation is by far the worst in the industry

you're lucky if you can find a help file at all, let alone one that's for the current version of the product and describes functionality that still exists

ibm's docs are bad because of horrible corporate requirements which force the writers to not be able to be at all expressive, or use screenshots, because it could make the docs harder to translate

now guess how good the translations are, when they exist

at least with IBM the documents exist. they might be useless but they at least try beyond "whatever the dev felt like writing up when he originally made the feature ten versions ago".

ive been ruined by when I worked in semiconductor manufacturing. KLA Tencor, Tokyo Election, and ASML all have absolutely amazing documentation

that plus the recent overhaul of the knowledge center or w/e they want to call it just feels unfinished, and some articles at random got their formatting hosed to boot.

while im not going to defend the android desktop thread what difference does it make how intuitive it is? every phone depends on rote memorization to use whether its where the app has been placed on the ios homescreen or w/e weird setup a random goon cooked up

as long as the owner of the phone can remember how to do poo poo isnt it all the same?

Unfortunately I don't see any way to actually see ad campaigns for those websites or fraudulently collect revenue from them.
