Search engines like Google, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Brave, etc. used to respect my quotes around phrases, and minuses to exclude terms. I think we’ve gone way too far over the edge of “artificial intelligence” trying to assume what I mean, rather than accepting that I know what I’m typing and I know what I want.
There has been a video on YouTube for 15 to 20 years that I like to share, and it had the word “You” misspelled, so it was very easy to find with:
+"yuo can do it" -you
which would always pull it right up on YouTube. Now all I get is cRAP links!
What is going on? Is there some new way to tell a search engine to stop trying to “be smart” by making bad assumptions of what I mean, and just accept that I say what I mean and mean what I say?
