Me: "Contrite"

Autocorrect: "Did you mean Concrete?"

Me: "No. Add to Dictionary"

Me: "Finagle"

Autocorrect: "Did you mean Final?"

Me: "No! Add to Dictionary"

Me: "Catapult"

Autocorrect: "Bro, I don't even know what that word is but I'm going to assume its misspelled."

Me: "God damnit. Add to Dictionary"

Me: "Phras"

Autocorrect: "This is fine."

Google's "did you mean": 💪 Gboard's autocorrect: 💩

[-] Inktvip@lemm.ee 42 points 8 months ago

As someone that has to search for obscure hardware and part numbers on a regular basis Google's 'did you mean' is the bane of my existence.

Have you considered using a Google alternative?

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 1 points 8 months ago

which one? i've yet to find one that even works as well as google, let alone better

Personally I’m quite happy with DuckDuckGo. It seems to take stuff more literal than Google so keywords are handled better in my opinion. It isn’t trying to be as smart basically, has its pros and cons.

Using quotes around the part number might be of great help. It won’t ask you “did you mean” and will look specifically for pages that include that number.

Unfortunately that works less and less as "AI" continues to be more important in gathering results. Luckily there are other tricks like searching for pdfs only, exclude the 'corrected' words , or simply trying multiple search engines.
