It's not even suggesting both God of War and Lord of War, for me all the results on the first page are about God of War.
Today I use DDG mostly, thanks to Googles choices. DDG is equally bad WRT this but
- it is easier to move from DDG to Google (just add !g) than the other way around
- and DDG isn't as invasive
It doesn't appear that you did. The search term in question is "lord of war director's commentary," and you say you're trying "lord of war." And even if the problem didn't exist for you, but did for them, that does not mean it doesn't exist "objectively."
Also as a non native speaker you appear to be rude.
- "Don't know what to tell you."
- "The problem you're complaining about doesn't actually appear to exist, at least not objectively."
In my limited experience I don't see any reasons to use these exact words in this context except to belittle..?
Anyone care to explain? My seatbelt is fastened and I'm ready to learn (and apologize if necessary :-).
The first quote is potentially a dismissal, which is belittling. However, if it stood alone, it could also be interpreted as the person backing off because they lack qualification to interpret the results. But the second quote includes dismissal terms like "complaining" and "not objectively" in a demeaning context.
So, with all that, I'd say your impression is valid. The context highly suggests that these responses were meant to belittle the parent author's contribution to the conversation.
Here is my take on the parent's search results. The God Of War director ( Cory Barlog ) was a big part of the marketing for the game. And he did some in-game commentary for it too. So, this suggests some kind of SEO manipulation. But it could also just be the google spellcheck guessing wrong.
The poster who said he was having difficulty getting good results from Google, was obviously venting about his own personal experience.
Next comes along another poster who says "I tried it. I don't have your problem." Another post down, "... The problem you're complaining about doesn't actually appear to exist, at least not objectively."
Excuse my outburst, but who the fuck says that?
The original poster was venting about a problem he experienced. What good can someone do when he comes in and says that he doesn't experience the same problem, and states that it likely doesn't exist? There is no upside here. There's an only a downside: being rude.
>There is no upside here. There's an only a downside: being rude.
Says the person who apparently created a green account just to shit on my grammar and cast aspersions on me.
Pot, meet kettle.
Google showing results for director's commentary of God of War when someone searches "Lord of War director's commentary" is arguably not a failure on Google's part if more people do search for the game than the movie, regardless of the incorrect title.
That said, I completely agree with the theses of TFA. SEO is a cancer.
Having to click an extra link or maybe scroll beyond the front page doesn't make Google a shit show.
