To be fair, those searches are pretty weird.


We don't search for things because they're easy to find


I mean most of my searches are probably pretty easy to find, I just don't want to go to the website I'm thinking of and click through 5 pages to get there.


Uh that has nothing to do with it? I don't immediatly know the URL of a website which shows me info about lamps?


The pop culture one is fairly common. Me and my wife both search "who the fuck is that" in that TV show movie all the time. Or who is the author of X book?


I think perhaps the usefulness here is less finding what you're looking for, but rather finding something interesting.


It’s trying to surface long articles and you’re asking it for a one word answer. What did you expect? A long article consisting of “Emma Stone played Cruella” repeated 800 times?


They seem reasonable to me.
