Never have I ever benefited from Google or Amazon or anyone changing my search string for me. Even if I do misspell something, I’m gonna click on the “did you mean x instead?” link myself, because I don’t trust the 50/50 mixed results anyway. But 90% of the time I’m gonna be immediately scrambling to put the double quotes back in, which it’s also gonna ignore half the time.
Hard agree. Sometimes I’m searching for something very specific and esoteric, and the results spam me with unrelated nonsense because the search engine thinks it knows better than I do
