    i really don’t want anything that further obfuscates the experience of me typing in a word and it showing me pages with that word. and i don’t know why i’d want to type a full ass sentence in natural english versus just keywords

      You don’t type questions into search engines? I’ve been doing that for well over a decade and it helps find others asking the same thing.

        I find that I have to do that now, because it seems the internet has been geared towards people that think you have to ask the computer a question instead of searching for key words like how it used to work.

        I find it more difficult now because often the search results are what the search engine thinks I want, instead of what I actually asked for.

          I mean, this is what we see/read in sci-fi series and movies at least since the 60’s.
