I tried the query and the top of the list is the parent comment. (Google seems to be paying close attention to HN.) The second was an article about Uruguay which said it was colonized from Spain in the 15th century. Google replied with any old 15th. (The article is actually wrong. It was settled in 1536.) The parent posting is correct. Google is particularly poor at complex questions, especially if you aren't sure about the exact phrasing. I have had several queries in the past couple of weeks where I have had to spend 30 to 90 minutes trying to get the right set of terms to return the right set of documents to look at. This is particularly true if the name of the product is a common English word. |
