It's funny because many people type full sentence questions into search engines too. It's usually a sign of being older and/or not very experienced with computers. One thing about geeks like me is we will always figure out what the bare minimum is (at least for work, I hope everyone has at least a few things they enjoy and don't try to optimise).


It's not about being young or old, search engines have moved away from pure keyword searches and often typing your actual query gives better results than searching for keywords, especially with Google.


Wonder if that's why so many people hate its results lol. It shifted keyword searching to full sentence searching, but many of us didn't follow in the shift.
