> Sorry but you're holding it wrong if you don't search intentful enough.

i.e. the users of my search engine are not helping me well enough for me to do my job.

> NL queries return poor results if the content creator didn't create it with searchers in mind.

i.e. the content creators from 30 years ago where not clairvoyant enough to consider the robot crawling needs I have, in order to do my job.

> Most of these sites also often have a very poor UX.

i.e. the content creators I am indexing just have plain text which is not helping me well enough, for me to do my job.

I wonder if there is ever an instance wherein google employees are able to look within and realize there is work to be done rather than blame external constraints. Specially when other search engines are still able to satisfy exotic/technical/archive queries, despite these external constraints.

Google had a mission to organize the world's information and make it accessible. It seems Alphabet has rewritten it to "organize the world's information"... "for popular stuff, especially when there's commercial intent".
