fair point. One can always spell out the domains to differentiate though - "Vector dot IM" and "Matrix dot org" :)


Usually I would type in "Vector IM" or another word I associate with what I'm looking for if I forgot the domain. Just like "GoLang" and "DLang" when I google for those languages.

Edit:

Come to think of it I'm surprised Google doesn't offer alternate search suggestions in "Web" searches as they do in "Google Images" it would make searching the web more interesting. I think all major search engines should give that approach a try. I know Google shows options to enhance your Google Images searching.


And Google Trend already let you differentiate between Go the game and Go programming language (just input the terms and it will show those options).

I hope they will offer the same on their web search


They do. Google then scroll to the bottom.


I google'd "Go" and didn't see what you meant. When I searched "Swing" I found it. I think that should be either on the side at the top somewhere, or before results if possible.
