They're truly ahead of the curve on doing gently caress all in December. Its the -worst-. Jingle bells music starts in stores in November now. Not actually a joke post these days  (I blame this more on advent calendar overflow than anything else. Gotta train those expectations to start RIGHT ON DECEMBER FIRST!! and be hallmark-y for a month cuz of it.)

Comedy waits for no man or woman - or romulan, it seems.

Please tell me this ends in bus-chucking. Also, are you sure you don't live in a comedy skit? Have you checked under the urinal for the script?

BlankSystemDaemon posted:It's been a good five years since Google started internally rewriting keywords to match what it thinks you're searching for (I suspect they do this to boost ad hit rates, as it's the thing Alphabet make their money on), and in the last few years, they've decided that what the world really wants is to use natural language searches, similar to how you'd ask one of those digital assistants found in smartphones. I'll add to this. Chrome history has become really lovely because of this. I was reading a webstory, and sometimes fish the last chapter out of history to hit next, instead of going to the main page. As a consequence, searching for 'developer' gets you results, but 'developer e' does not. It just doesn't seem to do partials any more, and/or sometimes its fucky with urls too. Not super happy about it

I still use a firefox too, (a fork, but still) and its searches work properly and actually go looking through the database based on what the user actually put in - not what it thinks it means. This means it supports partials and typos. To go off my above example, if i typo 'evelopers' into firefox history to pull out an old post, video, whatever, it shows results for 'developers' because it actually looks for partials. if I make the same search in chrome it shows nothing. Same thing with the omnibar. Even if I have opens tabs with the right name, without the errant D missing, its useful. It doesn't look for partials, actually carry out the search - and i'm sure its based on idiot or typo proofing the software, but still: It would be nice if its internals worked like firefox, and wasn't just takin a poo poo over basic stuff like that.
