search engines didn't use to be so fuzzy and advertisement optimized. back in the day (when we skied to the school and back, and the wolves were howling in the background) search engines actually found stuff.

Hi guys
silver forge
google went into shitter in 2004 when they optimized their indexes to offer only fuzzy results instead of only exact ones.
for 1-2 years you could still kind of force the old behaviour via quirks but after that... ehh... and today google is basically useless.

I tend to find issues with how Claude searches, especially when I ask claude to review it's own results

today I had to work building a statistic from book keeping data... invoice totals over time categorized by work types billed... I had a huge excel sheet... I just gave it to claude and told it what the data is like, what I need to be done, and BAM results. it went through thousands of lines, calculated them, after developing a temporary software to handle everything.. it would have taken me full day to do the same. 5 minutes.

what I did was I tried to find a correlation between the world bank's taxonomy for social decohesion indicators from a news originated in a country with several armed conflicts, and how those indicators precede the conflicts. I actually found couple interesting things.
the point was, people in a country talking about their own country has tones and themes that can be categorized, and certain sentiments are good indicators of armed conflicts.
