I never understood why they didn't expand the "did you maybe mean" section when they pushed into ML based query interpretation.
Let me search what I want to search the way pagerank trained me to. Keywords over sentences.
But if you want to start pushing in that direction why not just add a "you may find better results when phrased as" section which these models appear to be preferential towards.
From the examples, ngrok for example, search didn't even care to include the keyword in all searches, even if the page is more "popular" the fact you'd (and I have repeatedly had to) quote the term to insist it be included is nuts for a search engine.
Finding obscure bug solutions was already barely possible, but has become impossible when even explicit error messages are "interpreted" to 'why won't <unrelated program> do <unrelated keywords>' on StackOverflow because it noticed that the program uses the same library and has had some searches with the same process name in the error line.
