Two Word Search Queries Now Considered Complex

from the slowly,-but-surely dept

It appears that now that we've all been using search engines for a while, people are learning how to write more complex queries that include a grand total of... two or three words. I'm not really sure how "complex" a two or three word query is, but at least it does show that people are figuring out they need to be a little more specific in what they're looking for. Either that, or search engines like Google are getting so filled with search engine spam that people are forced to write more detailed queries to actually find what they want.
