Maybe it’s me, but they seem to keep skewing their algorithm to ignore precise queries and always show broad matches.&lt;p&gt;For example I recently searched “US ambassador Germany” on Google  News and the top results were all stories about Ukraine and the impeachment hearings. Google completely ignored “Germany.”&lt;p&gt;Similar things happen to me all the time on Google Search. Perhaps I just search too many long tail queries?</text></comment>
