        Surely you see how using a search engine is a separate skill from just writing words?

        Point is, people don’t want to learn. Natural language searches in the form of questions are just easier for people, because they already know how to ask questions.

          Do you really need to learn to realise the words “is” and “in” aren’t that important and that “Angelina Jolie heat” is good enough for a search query?

            I don’t think we would’ve had so many lessons on this in school if it didn’t need to be taught.

            Any time we use words in a way that’s different from a conversation it requires learning. That ranges from argumentation to story telling to, in this case, search queries. If it’s different from talking to another human, it’s a different skill.

      They’re literally just words? All you need is the ability to speak a language
