Comment on What search engines really have exact match?
Vlyn@lemmy.zip 1 year agoYour problem is that “Music behind the scenes” returns hundreds of results of movie and game soundtracks. Because this is a super common phrase. It doesn’t just look at video titles, but descriptions too.
I instantly find your video, first result, with: “music behind the scenes humour” site:YouTube.com
Obviously if I leave "humour " out it will rather show me all the behind the scenes videos with millions of views. Instead of a random video with less than 1000.

This is my complaint. It ranks popular videos with the title words out of order, over videos with the words in phrase order when I’ve used quote marks as a command to only return results containing the phrase.
I also assume that for both Google and YouTube, content they want me to see is being ranked above content I choose. I am the product, not the customer, and to me that’s not acceptable in a search engine.
