@xssfox Best I can do is a large language model that will hallucinate pages with the two keywords.

"You were searching for red. Did you actually mean green? I'll show you the results for green."
"You were searching for red. My advertisers want to show you ads for green. I'll show you the results for green."

@xssfox I miss the days when you could search for "pyro necro homo nymphomaniacs" on Lycos, and get 65,000 results.
We used to hold competitions. How fucked up a term you could invent, and still get a shitload of results.
Modern search is indeed terrible, the golden age of search is long over.
But holy shit, it used to be sooooo much worse.

@xssfox Why not ask for world peace while you're at it?
"Did you mean global thermonuclear war? I'll show you results for global thermonuclear war."

@xssfox and could even say search for "this work" and "that word" but not "this other thing"
Or could tell is to find pages with those works on a particular domain
or could put a phrase in some formatting - like say "something like this" and get results for exactly that phrase but not say "some like this thing"
all really radical stuff. not sure it is possible (other than the decades we did have all this and more... sigh I'm old)

A duck-duck-go demonstration search for "+napoleon +manscaping" (both keywords are required) gets only one hit:

@xssfox I'd invest

@xssfox I can still remember the times when search engines returned results with all the keywords, spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.

@xssfox The ability to return a page that matches even one word seems to have been lost to the ages, so asking for it to match 2 seems a big ask right now.
