So that explains how Google knows that when I'm searching for X, it can give me results for slightly related Y instead. Sometimes it works, often it feels almost hostile.



I've noticed the same thing with YouTube notifications.

It feels like Google wants to recruit/queue my attention as a resource for their client's ads instead of just notifying me when a new video from someone I follow is available.


That at least make some sense, but I don't understand whose benefit is showing results for Rider and IDEA when I search for some detail in CLion that is different from the other IDEs from the same company.
