You can’t even Google the word ‘ignore’

Earlier this week, Google was released A completely new searcha brief introduction to AI and pushing “10 blue links” further down the page. But the scale of Google Search means that there are many cases that the company seems to have not considered.

For example, this is what you will find if you type the word “ignore” in Google Search.

Google has been taking action culture media about this, and it’s easy to see why. As you can see, the Merriam-Webster link is still there, but you have to go through a lot of blank space. For most users, that single response is the only thing you’ll see. And interestingly, the AI ​​response doesn’t help the user search for the word “ignore.” It’s just a broken tool.

In his case, here is the same search in Bing, which has not been aggressive in its AI acronym. It’s not perfect, but there’s a lot of useful information to be found here.

I’ve been a technology journalist for almost 15 years, and before today, I can’t think of a time when Bing’s search results were more important than Google’s equivalent. There really is a first time for everything!
