I was trying to find videos on specific IKEA furniture, but only got semi-related content. Interestingly enough, tiktok worked perfectly.
Curious if anyone has tried some other video platforms or video search tools.
Besides, what is digm in paradigm?
Am I close?
It more or less means "for example", but "παρα" has multiple meanings, depending how you use it as part of a possible combination, but in this case I would say it means "similarity", whereas "δείκνυμι" means "to point out".
My English is not even mediocre to be able to explain it to you in great detail I'm afraid; my apologies -_-
But I'm still a bit hesitant about its causes. Wether degraded search is an intentional feature or not, I think there is another and simpler explanation to consider when we discuss this topic: cost and skill.
Google seems to be an exception in that field as it has, in my opinion, clearly demonstrated an ability to implement a functioning search. Consequently, our only option as users is to assume that a dysfunction in a Google product's search function can only be intentional and triggered by hidden motives (e.g., restricting users liberty to decide what should never or absolutely be in the results).
A second factor I like to take into consideration is the iPhone user effect, or what I like to call the "iTard effect". The itard effect is the tendency by tech companies to design and aim their user interfaces specifically to satisfy their least tech savvy users while alienating its more technical customers in the process. A good example of these are search engines that automatically canonicalize what you type and either won't allow you to run a search exactly as you specify it but will keep altering your query terms because "you probably needed help writing this query".
There is also a third option, that affects both larger tech tycoons and other companies: they cannot search their content accurately.
This could be caused by poor architecture decisions (I think we are still years ahead from assessing the real damage caused by over-containerization/micro-architecturization across the world) but also by costs: the more you delegate your IT operations to third parties (e.g., cloud, pass, saas, etc.) the more you become vulnerable to abusive costs of search.
I totally agree with you, search simply doesn't work in most of the websites I regularly visit (even search engines). But I think there are only less than a dozen companies that would intentionally and effectively alter search results to impose their own agenda onto the user. Unfortunately, these companies are precisely the ones that interact with the vast majority of human beings on the globe on a daily basis :)
I made a simple YouTube search form with search filters that work well on YouTube: https://playlists.at/youtube/search/
Worse--this behavior continues, and has gotten so bad that today searching is all but useless to me.
FYI- Your portal gave me good laugh on how it finds 'exact' Titles: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=+intitle%3Afugi...
It works!
Jeep "cj7 cylinder head"
and got videos about soft tops.
Editing the search term to:
jeep "cj7" "cylinder head"
got me actual results
If you’re not doing anything to curate your recommendations, maybe give it a shot.
You’ve engaged with it so they keep throwing it at you. My kid broke my YouTube when he was little watching awful kid videos. You need to find something high value to reset or break the profile. Stuff like crypto and gold coins are easy to spot and skip and high value. So if you leave a gold coin playlist running, you won’t see political ads.
Over time, the gold stuff will go away.
Thanks google.
Numbers apparently points to people being so distracted on the internet they forget what they where doing and instead of helping, google just leans into it.

It's like GHHbD but from within Youtube.
Additionally, YouTube can be thought of as the second most used search engine. Which in return means that the built-in search is now up against Google, Bing and whatever else - and most other engines can be restricted to just search YouTube using the site: operator.
For example, I looked for a car review because I'm buying a new car, and 80% of the search results are guitar related content, because I play guitar and that's the vast majority of the content I normally watch.
They seem to have completely missed the point of SEARCH. It's meant to be a tool for creating targeted results. If I just wanted random content to pass my time, the landing page already does that.
what I have noticed now and in the past is that if you search something that does not have high matches, it just throws at you unrelated garbage that you normally watch.
