The examples you cite are mostly about physical actions (e.g. eating), your advice to adapt yourself to the world is sound because we can't change how the world and physics and matter work. However a search engine is a totally non-physical thing. Software has no body and essentially no limits like a pen does. We can make software do anything we want (almost). We can try to make software that understand how people ask questions. That's what we should do.

A better example would be languages. They are entirely intellectual and change all the time. Don't like speaking a certain way? Then change it, and it might take off! No reason to limit us all to Latin, we've invented all the other languages.
