You vastly overestimate the amount of human intelligence that can be gathered from looking at search queries.<p>Working for search quality, two things I quickly learned from watching a lot of random sample queries are:<p>(1) People like porn.<p>(2) People can&#x27;t spell.<p>In other words, if you are working for algorithm &quot;X&quot;, and if you gather one hundred random queries mentioning X, a lot of them will be along the lines of: &quot;python library X&quot;, &quot;CLR ch 12 X solution&quot;, &quot;knuth X 1985&quot;, &quot;given figure 12 what is the amortized time complexity of X&quot; (or some other exact copy-paste of a homework problem).<p>People don&#x27;t type &quot;Amortized time complexity of X can be improved when f and g are monotonically increasing&quot; into a search box.<p>Besides, exactly who&#x27;s going to use the result?  Imagine you meet a Googler who has PhD in Algorithm X, working for a super secret project, and tell them &quot;You know, I found random guys on the internet searching for X and I thought their disjointed query terms might teach you a thing or two about how to use Algorithm X.&quot;<p>(Not to mention that almost everyone will view it as a gross breach of ethics.)
