You want a company to omnisciently select from billions of webpages the most appropriate result for you.

You refuse to tell them anything about yourself.

That's not having your privacy invaded, that's wanting to have your cake and eat it too.

No, I don't want omniscience. I want them to actually match the fricking keywords I give them. Is that too much to ask in these days of privacy invasion for profit?

I want the most appropriate results for my search text, not me.

It's a human language question, not an FMRI.
