One area where Google search is terribly broken is porn.

If your search for some specific term "$foo", nearly every result is just 'search site $bar for "$foo"', taking you to the site's search page, regardless of whether $foo is actually found on the site.

I swear the only reason people started using bing is because the search there actually worked well for porn.

On the other hand, when I use to search for anything near the city I lived in, porn showed up way too frequently

Are locals particularly attached to that name?

Seems like a referendum for a name change would be a good idea, considering the current typical usage of that term.

Had an old roommate who moved here after getting married to be closer to family. Weirdly, the name never at any point came up so I think everyone is just kind of resigned to the fact that they live in a place called Cumming

What does that have to do with porn?

I've never noticed that behavior from Google when searching for any other topic. Have you?

[buryat]

how many people do you think search for $foo and the opposite?

[rjrdi38dbbdb]

What do you mean by the opposite?

The search behavior is the same whether $foo is a popular generic term or something niche.
