> Getting specific is harder on Google because it just omits or misinterprets my search query keywords quite often.

I have this problem too. Google often thinks that I made a typo and presents me results for things I didn't searched for or care about and I have no way to force it to search for things I really want.

This is exactly when I switch to brain damage mode querying. You like fixing typos Google? Have some typos. You like figuring out what I really mean Google? Here, I'll formulate my query like a deranged toddler on PCP, best of luck!

Maybe it just feels more successful because it lowers my expectations. But at least you get to mash the keyboard like a maniac, do no corrections, press return and watch it just work.

It's kind of like watching Google do a "customer is always right" squirm.
