Now Yahoo will adopt the controversial swiping model, where you'll filter out search results you might want to see with your thumb.

If there were a search engine that let me do this with domains and/or authors, it would instantly win me over.

For real I wouldn't at all mind a feature akin to Apple News's 'suggest less/more from this source' in a search engine.

I'm not sure, I think personalized targeting algorithms tend to be way too aggressive in trying to guess what I want.

I really just want old Google where I can tailor my search terms and get what I really want, rather than machine learning trying to either overly target or overly "untarget" it, where it seems to try to guess what a completely average searcher would like, and ignore all the more specific terms in my search.

it's like no, I just want to search exactly what I typed, don't ignore half of it to get more general results or try to decide that I actually want something completely different because you know what city I live in

The worst is that every other dating app decided it needed to become a clone of Tinder after Tinder got big.

Is that actually a bad idea?
